Question

A capacitor is connected in parallel with an inductive load for power-factor correction while the source voltage remains unchanged. Which statements are correct?

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

The capacitor supplies part or all of the reactive current locally, reducing source current and improving power factor. Because the original load remains across the same voltage, its current and real power are unchanged.
