ECN | Define: Power factor and Quality factor in RC circuit.

 i) Power Factor:  

It is the cosine of the angle between the applied voltage and the resulting current. 

Power factor = cosø 

where, ø is the phase angle between applied voltage and current. 

It is the ratio of True or effective or real power to the apparent power.  

ii) Quality factor: The ratio of capacitive reactance to the resistance is called as Quality factor for RC circuit.
