                Power factor indicates efficiency of the circuit.

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

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

                Power factor is always less than 1.

                cos(q) can never be greater than 1.

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