The power factor at resonance in R-L- C parallel circuit is?

2 Answers

Answer :

The power factor at resonance in R-L- C parallel circuit is unity.

Answer :

since a rlc circuit at resonance behaves like a pure resistive circuit, i.e there is no phase difference between current and voltage, hence the power factor is unity.
