COSQ=R/Z=1.5/1.5+2.2=0.564

Power factor indicates efficiency of the circuit.

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

POWER FACTOR = (R/Z).

Z = SQRT(1.5^2 +2.2^2).

Z = 2.662.

P.F. = 1.5/2.662 = .563.

Z = sqrt(1500^2+2200^2) = 2663.

pf = R/Z = 1500/2663 = 0.564.

|z|=sqrt(1500^2+2200^2)=2663
Angle=inverse tan(2200\1500)=55.7
Power Factor=Cos(55.7)=0.564

Generally power factor i.e. cos(angle b/w v,i) always less than one.

R/Z = 0.405 not 0.564 as you put it Sanjeeb
