Z=(r^2+XL^2)^1/2=2663.
P.f = cosq = r/z
0.564.
P.f = cosq = r/z
0.564.

Power factor = R ÷ Z.
So, R = 1.3k ohm = 1.3 * 10^3 =1300 ohm,
inductive reactians FL = 2.2k ohm =2.2 * 10^3,
= 2200 ohm.
&. Z = (?).
Z = √(R^2 + FL^2),
Z = √(1500^2 + 2200^2),
Z= 2663.
& Power factor = R ÷ Z,
= 1500 ÷ 2663,
= 0.5632.
So, ans is (0.564).

R/Z=0.405 not 0.564.

z = (r^2 + x^2)^(1/2).
Ccos = r/z.
Ccos = r/z.

R = 1.5.
Xl = 2.2.
Z = Root of R square+xl square.
Cos = R/Z.
Xl = 2.2.
Z = Root of R square+xl square.
Cos = R/Z.

Power factor always less than 1 use common sense, so simple.
