The quantity cos of the phase angle is called the:

APhase factor
BPeak factor
CLoss factor
DPower factor
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Power factor
1. Average power in an ac circuit is not simply V times I. 2. A factor involving the phase angle multiplies it. 3. That factor is called the power factor. 4. So the answer is power factor. _Source: syllabus Physics, Ch 7 'Alternating Current'_
