In parallel rlc circuit.
Z=1/√((1÷r)^2+(1÷xl-1÷xc)^2).
i=v/z.
Power factor=true power/apparent power.
True power=i^2*r.
Apparent power=Vs * i.
Therefore power factor=i^2*r/Vs*i.
@Gasim your formula is a series circuit.
Z=1/√((1÷r)^2+(1÷xl-1÷xc)^2).
i=v/z.

True power=i^2*r.
Apparent power=Vs * i.
Therefore power factor=i^2*r/Vs*i.
@Gasim your formula is a series circuit.

Iz = sqrt (Ir^2+Ix^2) = 0.1411 A.
Z = E/Iz = 497/0.1411 = 3522.3 ohm.
True power = Ir^2*R = 61.702 W.
App power = Iz^2*Z = 70.126 W.
Power factor = 61.702/70.126
= 0.879.

For true power P, I used V^2/R /= 497^2/4k = 61.75 W.
Apparent Power, I used V^2/Z = 497^2/3516 = 70.23 VA.
Pf = P/S (real power/apparent power) = 61.75/70.23 = 0.879.

For parallel RLC circuit powerfactor=(truepower)/(apparentpower)
True power (Pr)=Ir^2*R
Apparent power (Pa)=Vs*It
P.F=(Ir^2*R)/(Vs*It)
True power (Pr)=Ir^2*R
Apparent power (Pa)=Vs*It
P.F=(Ir^2*R)/(Vs*It)

In previous question, we have calculated phase angle -28.5.
And Power Factor = cos(@).
Therefore ..cos (28.5) = 0.879.
Option D?
And Power Factor = cos(@).
Therefore ..cos (28.5) = 0.879.
Option D?

@Neeraja
please tell me,how the answer can be evaluated using this formula.

z=sqrt(R^2+(xl-xc)^2)
i=vs/z
p=i^2*R
P.F=P/(vs*i)
i=vs/z
p=i^2*R
P.F=P/(vs*i)

PF= R/Z (for series).
pF= Z/R (for Parallel).
pF= Z/R (for Parallel).
