Mark the incorrect statement.

  • A
    In any $AC$ circuit, the applied instantaneous voltage equals the algebraic sum of the instantaneous voltages across the series elements of the circuit.
  • B
    For circuits used for transporting electric power, a low power factor implies large power loss in transmission.
  • C
    Power factor can often be improved by the use of a capacitor of appropriate capacitance in the circuit.
  • D
    The use of a capacitor is avoided in the circuit of an induction coil.
