Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the power factor in a circuit with a phase angle of 60 degrees?
  • Step 1: Understand that the power factor is a measure of how effectively electrical power is being converted into useful work output.
  • Step 2: Know that the power factor can be calculated using the cosine of the phase angle in the circuit.
  • Step 3: Identify the phase angle given in the question, which is 60 degrees.
  • Step 4: Use the cosine function to find the power factor: Calculate cos(60°).
  • Step 5: Recall that cos(60°) equals 0.5.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the power factor for the circuit with a phase angle of 60 degrees is 0.5.
