Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a capacitor is connected to improve power factor, it reduces the reactive power in the circuit, which in turn reduces the current drawn from the supply. However, the current drawn by the load remains the same. Therefore, the correct answer is D - remains the same, reduces.
