In an RC parallel circuit, ET = 277 V, R = 24 kΩ, and XC = 39 kΩ. What is the power factor?
A) 10%
B) 61.54%
C) 85.17%
D) 92.41%

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The power factor in an RC parallel circuit is calculated using the formula: Power Factor = R / √(R² + XC²). Substituting the given values: Power Factor = 24 / √(24² + 39²) = 24 / √(576 + 1521) = 24 / √2097 ≈ 0.8517 or 85.17%.
