  1. Question 1

    Q1. The power factor of a circuit is 0.8. The circuit is

    • A) Purely resistive
    • B) Purely inductive
    • C) Purely capacitive
    • D) More resistive than reactive

    Answer: More resistive than reactive

    Explanation: Power factor = cos(φ) = 0.8, indicating the circuit is more resistive than reactive as φ is not 0° or 90°.
