So how did you get the 33.36 ? From 15/0.45 ? Then the answer is per se correct, but 'the way' is nothidemi said:

And you have me wondering why you type 33.36 and not 33.33

Ok Thank you, I understand.Delta2 said:
The power factor in a series circuit is a measure of how efficiently the circuit is using electrical power. It is the ratio of the circuit's true power (Watts) to its apparent power (Volt-Amperes).
Power factor is calculated by dividing the circuit's true power by its apparent power. This can be represented by the formula: PF = P/VA, where PF is the power factor, P is the true power, and VA is the apparent power.
A good power factor is typically considered to be above 0.9. This means that the circuit is using power efficiently and there is minimal loss of energy. A lower power factor indicates that the circuit is less efficient and may be wasting energy.
A low power factor in a series circuit can be caused by inductive loads, such as motors or transformers, which create a lag between the voltage and current in the circuit. This lag results in a lower power factor as the circuit is not using power efficiently.
A low power factor can be improved by adding power factor correction devices, such as capacitors, to the circuit. These devices help to offset the effects of inductive loads and improve the power factor. Proper maintenance and regular inspection of equipment can also help to maintain a good power factor.
