Angle between v and i is 90 deg
so, cos 90 = 0

What is the value of power factor for a pure capacitor?
0. Power factor has to do with the amount of real power. if you have a purely capacitive load, there is no real power flow, thus pf = 0. For purely resistive load, power factor will be 1.0.
Power factor for pure resistive circuit?
ratio between true power and apparent power is called the power factor for a circuit Power factor =true power/apparent power also we conclude PF=power dissipated / actual power in pure resistive circuit if total resistance is made zero power factor will be zero
What are the problems with switching AC currents in a circuit of pure resistance at unity power factor?
Power factor does not apply to a resistive circuit. Just the current will follow the voltage (in phase)
Is there any power consumed in pure inductor and pure capacitor?
In an AC circuit energy flows into an inductor in one quarter-cycle and flows out on the next. Ditto for a capacitor. Therefore over a cycle, no net power or energy is consumed in a pure capacitor or inductor.Another Answer'Power' is the rate at which energy is transferred. In the case of 'pure' inductance or capacitance, energy flows from the supply to the device during the first quarter-cycle of current, where it is temporarily stored within the magnetic (inductors) or electric (capacitors) field, only to be returned to the supply during the following quarter-cycle. You could describe this action as 'energy sloshing back and forth between the supply and the device'. The rate at which this energy transfer takes place is called 'reactive power' and is expressed in 'reactive volt amperes'. None of this energy is lost or, to use your expression, 'consumed'.'True power', expressed in watts, is the rate at which energy is expended -i.e. energy taken from the supply and then dispersed through work (e.g. by motors) or heat transfer (losses). This does NOT occur in purely-inductive or in purely-capacitive loads. So, in answer to your question, 'power' (in the sense of 'true power') is NOT 'consumed' by a pure inductor or capacitor (remember, technically, it's energy that gets consumed, not power -power is simply a rate).You should bear in mind, however, that there is no such thing as a 'pure inductor' or 'pure capacitor' as each will exhibit some degree of resistance. Resistance results in the expenditure of energy, the rate at which it occurs being 'true power'. So 'real' inductors and capacitors combine 'reactive power' with 'true power', the vector-sum of which we call 'apparent power', expressed in volt amperes.
Which filter is practically preferred to get pure DC output?
pi filter is best using inductor and capacitor.
What is the power factor in pure inductors explain?
The power factor (cosine of phase angle) of pure inductor is zero because the phase angle between current and voltage is 90 degrees .If the value is substituted in the formula It will be zero.
Is pure inductor consumes energy?
Pure inductors consume and produce power, just like other reactive devices. The difference is that the current is not in phase with the voltage, resulting in the waveform of the power being oscillating about zero, with a net mean power of zero. In this "pure" case, the power factor is zero, but that does not mean there is no power - its just that the power "reading" is unsophisticated and not compensating for power factor.
Why no power loss in pure inductance?
An inductor is a device which stores energy as a magnetic energy.... Ideal inductor have no resistance.....so there is no power loss.... power loss = (I*I)*R
What is the value of power factor for a pure capacitor?
0. Power factor has to do with the amount of real power. if you have a purely capacitive load, there is no real power flow, thus pf = 0. For purely resistive load, power factor will be 1.0.
Does Inductor consume any power in electric circuit?
If it's a pure inductor, no power consumption. However it must be wound using unobtanium wire which has zero resistance, and the core must be vacuum. Air is nearly lossless.
Why a pure inductor do not consume power?
whose resistance is zero.but it is practically not possible. there is something resistance present in the wire
What is the power factor of pure resistor?
1
What is the wattage required for a device drawing 35 amps?
Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor To make your calculation you need to plug-in the Voltage and Power factor. The Power Factor is a value from zero to one with one being a pure resistive load.
What is the approximative power factor of an incandescent lamp?
Incandescent lamps are nearly pure resistive loads with a power factor of 1
Power factor for pure resistive circuit?
ratio between true power and apparent power is called the power factor for a circuit Power factor =true power/apparent power also we conclude PF=power dissipated / actual power in pure resistive circuit if total resistance is made zero power factor will be zero
What is standard power factor value?
The power factor measures the phase difference between a current and a voltage waveform. Power factor ranges from zero to one. A power factor of 1 is for a pure resistive load. Power factor decreases for loads like motors with high inductance. Power factor comes into play when determining the watts used by a device. Watts = Volts x Amps x PF. So ideally for efficiencies sake, you want to keep the PF as close to one as possible.
What is power factor of resistor?
A resistor doesn't have a power factor. However, if a circuit is pure resistance in nature the power factor will be one when a voltage is applied and a current flows in the circuit. The power factor is a measure of the relative phases of the current and voltage in a circuit.
