Power factor of transistor?

The term power factor does not apply to a transistor. Power factor is the ratio of the real power divided by the indicated power, i.e. W/V X A. It is used in AC circuits (mains mainly), because the grid generators do not enjoy having a reactive load (low PF), so they put a limit on the PF connected to the mains.
