Power factor in any circuit is the ratio of the load's true power to its apparent power. It's also the cosine of the phase angle. In L-R circuits, it's described as a 'lagging power factor', because the load current lags the supply voltage.
For open circuit test of transformer, the secondary is open circuit and the circuit impedance is largely inductive due to the core impedance having high L as compared to R. hence the power factor is reduced, thus , we use low power factor wattmeters.
No, the resonant frequency of a RLC series circuit is only dependant on L and C. R will be the impedance of the circuit at resonance.
The time constant of an RL series circuit is calculated using the formular: time constant=L/R
The applied voltage is 53+28 = 81V.
Answer:A given combination of R,L and C in series allows the current to flow in a certain frequency range only.For this reason it is known as an acceptor circuit i.e.,it accepts some specific frequencies....
When the Inductor's value equals Zero, then the Power Factor reaches 1. Conversly, when the Resistance equals 0, the Power Factor becomes Zero. The Power Factor for a Series R-L Circuit is equal to R / sqrt (R^2 + (w*L)^2 )
You are presumably referring to an 'R-L-C' circuit. At resonance, the load current is in phase with the supply voltage and, so, the power factor is unity.

You don't necessarily. For a straightforward series (or parallel) R-L load, you will only require a single-phase supply. However, if you had three R-L loads, connected in delta or star (wye), then you would require a three-phase supply.

At resonant frequency, current in the circuit is maximum.Impedence is minimum.
Power factor is real power divided by total power. Power factor can be written as: pf = R / sqrt(R^2 + X^2), where X is the reactive resistance of the active elements (in this case, L): pf = R / sqrt (R^2 + (wL)^2) w = frequency in radians of the AC frequency for which the power factor is to be calculated.
Yes if the power factor is unity.Additional AnswerOnly if the load is purely resistive. For a resistive-inductive (R-L) load, the current will reach its maximum value after the voltage reaches its maximum value, and we say the current is 'lagging the voltage'. For a resistive-capacitive (R-C) load, the current will reach its maximum value before the voltage reaches its maximum value, and we say the current is 'leading the voltage'.The angle of lag or lead is called the circuit's 'phase angle' and the cosine of that angle is termed the circuit's 'power factor'. So, for a purely-resistive circuit, the phase angle is zero and the power factor is 1 ('unit'). For R-L circuits, the power factor is less than 1, and is described as 'lagging'. For R-C circuits, the power factor is also less than 1, and is described as 'leading'.
Ans. A series L R C in parallel with C' .
The selectivity or sharpness of series resonant circuit is measured by quality factor or Q factor.It is defined as the ratio of the voltage across the coil or capcitor to the applied voltage.In other words it refers to the sharpness of tuning at resonance. Q = voltage across L or C ( in volts) / applied voltage ( in volts ) Q = 1/ R * ( L/C)^ 0.5 Q is just a mere number having values between 10 to 100 for normal frequencies.So it has no unit. Circuit with high Q values would respond to a very narrow frequency range and vice versa.Thus a circuit with high Q value is sharply tuned while a circuit with low Q value has a flat resonance.Q factor can be increased by having a coil of large inductance but of small ohmic resistance.
