To address the question of comparing the power factor ratio of a 75-watt motor to a 750-watt motor, it’s important to understand what power factor means and what it represents.
The power factor of an electrical system or motor is the ratio of real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit. It is a dimensionless number between 0 and 1. The power factor represents the phase difference between the voltage and current waveforms in an AC circuit. A power factor of 1 indicates that the voltage and current waveforms are in perfect synchrony, meaning all the power is effectively used for work. Real power (in watts) is the power that actually powers the equipment and performs useful work, while apparent power (in volt-amperes, VA) is the product of the current and voltage in the circuit.
Given that, the power factor itself does not change directly with the wattage of the motor. Instead, it is influenced by the characteristics of the motor and its load. Therefore, the power factor is mainly determined by the design of the motor (such as its type, efficiency, and whether it’s induction or synchronous) and how it’s loaded at the time of measurement.
If the question aims to compare the efficiency or electrical characteristics of a 75-watt motor to those of a 750-watt motor simply based on their power ratings, it’s unfeasible without additional specific data about each motor type, their efficiencies, and load conditions

Explanation: The power factor of the 75 watt motor is 0.55. The power factor of 750 watt
motor is 0.60.
