If a current 5.0 A lags the applied voltage 230 V by an angle ϕ, it can be resolved into two components, OA in phase with the voltage and OB lagging by 90°. If the phasor diagram in to a circuit possessing resistance and inductance in series, OA and OB must not be labelled and respectively. It has become the practice to say that the power factor is laggingwhen the current lags the supply voltage, and leading when the current leads the supply voltage. This means that the supply voltage is regarded as the reference quantity. (a) A 30 μ F capacitor is connected across the applied voltage, 50 Hz supply.
