Q: Power factor in an ideal purely resistive circuit is
A) Negative
B) Zero
C) One
D) Infinity
โœ… Correct Answer: C
Explanation: In purely resistive circuits, voltage and current are in phase, so power factor is 1.
Q: Inductive reactance increases with
A) Increasing resistance
B) Decreasing frequency
C) Increasing frequency
D) Constant voltage
โœ… Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Inductive reactance XL = 2ฯ€fL increases as frequency increases.
Q: A three-phase system is preferred over single-phase because it
A) Has less current
B) Provides constant power
C) Requires fewer wires
D) Is simpler
โœ… Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Three-phase power is more efficient and provides constant power delivery.
Q: Current in a conductor is due to
A) Electron flow
B) Hole movement
C) Neutron movement
D) Proton flow
โœ… Correct Answer: A
Explanation: Free electrons are responsible for current in conductors.
Q: Power in a resistive circuit is calculated as
A) V/I
B) VI
C) V^2/I
D) I^2/R
โœ… Correct Answer: B
Explanation: Power is voltage multiplied by current: P = VI.
