Power Factor given Power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Power Factor = Real Power/(Voltage*Current)
cosΦ = P/(V*I)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Power Factor - Power Factor is defined as the ratio of the actual electrical power dissipated by an AC circuit to the product of the r.m.s. values of current and voltage.
Real Power - (Measured in Watt) - The Real Power P is the average power in watts delivered to a load. It is the only useful power. It is the actual power dissipated by the load.
Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Voltage is used to determine the value of the potential difference between terminals where alternating current flows.
Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Current or AC is an electric current which periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time in contrast to direct current which flows only in one direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Real Power: 235 Watt --> 235 Watt No Conversion Required
Voltage: 130 Volt --> 130 Volt No Conversion Required
Current: 2.1 Ampere --> 2.1 Ampere No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

cosΦ = P/(V*I) --> 235/(130*2.1)

Evaluating ... ...
