Question: 1 . A capacitive element can be placed in parallel with an inductive element to bring the power factor closer to unity. 2 . _

1. A capacitive element can be placed in parallel with an inductive element to bring the power factor closer to unity.
2.______ The skin effect causes the effective area of a conductor to increase, thereby reducing the resistance of the conductor.
3.______ The unit of apparent power is the watt (W).
4.______ The power factor is equal to one for purely reactive loads.
5.______ The power factor of an alternating current circuit is defined as the ratio of real power (kW) to apparent power (kVA).
6.______ Energy dissipation occurs only in the resistive part of a circuit since ideal inductors and capacitors merely store and release energy.
7.______ The total power delivered to a resistor will be dissipated in the form of heat.
8.______A wattmeter reading is an indication of watts dissipated that reflects the magnitude of the current drawn.
9.______ The net flow of power to the pure (ideal) capacitor is zero over a full cycle.
