A 300 V, 5 A, 0.2 pf low power factor wattmeter is used to measure the power consumed by a load. The wattmeter scale has 150 divisions and the pointer is on the 100^th division. The power consumed by the load (in watts) is:

A. 1 B. 0.84 C. 0.73 D. 0.65

A. Should be nonmagnetic B. Most be of low temperature coefficient C. Should have low specific resistance D. All of the above

A. The meter is calibrated for AC and it’s error for DC would be high B. The meter does not respond to DC signals C. The error is high due to hysteresis effect D. The error is high due to eddy current effect

A. A shunt resistance B. A series inductance C. Shunt capacitance D. Series resistance
