(a) For circuits used for transporting electric power, a low power factor implies large power loss in transmission. Explain. (b) Power factor can often be improved by the use of a capacitor of appropriate capacitance in the circuit. Explain.

Power factor is defined as the ratio of true power to apparent power:-Calculate average power it.The A.C circuit is purely inductive.

Power stations are centres that generate and distribute large quantities of electricity. Power transmission is the process of sending electricity to distant places through wires from the power stations What change will occur in power when intensity of current is reduced in the circuit ?
