What is power factor? Whether it should be high or low? Why?

What is power factor? Whether it should be high or low? Why? 
Last Answer : Power factor should be high in order to get smooth operation of the system. Low power factor means losses will be more.it is the ratio of true power to apparent power. It has to be ideally 1. If it ... ex: 0.95 to meet actual power load has to draw less current (V constant), result in less losses)...
