A purely resistive load is one in which there is no capacitive or inductive reactance. Whe driven by an AC voltage source, such a load will have no shift in phase angle between voltage and current.

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 the change in current when frequency changes from 8 khz to 400hz?

That depends on the circuit. For a pure resistive circuit (no inductance and capacitance), the frequency will have no effect on the current.

resistive loadAnswerIf the current is driving a motor, then the load is resistive-inductive.


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)


Why does the resistor current stay the same when you adjust the power factor?

A pure resistive load always has a power factor of one. This is because the current and voltage waveforms are in phase in an AC circuit.

Compare the phase relationship between the voltage and current in a purely resistive circuit and an RL circuit?

In a pure resistive circuit the voltage and current are in phase. In an inductive circuit they are fro zero to 180 degrees out of phase. If they are in phase the Power Factor is 1 and 180 degrees the PF is zero. The exact amount of the phase difference depends on the specific circuit.
