Capacitive Load Alternative

I'm going to be interested if someone does.

So you also don't know.

I really doubt that you are using just incandescent lamps. Now what does make sense to me is that the incandescent lamps are in series with the capacitors and are of such a small load that they're considered to not be in the circuit. The advantage of doing this in your lab will be that a glowing or not glowing lamp will indicate with a high degree of certainty which capacitors are in the power distribution circuit. The worst thing to have in any lab experiment is an uncertainty of your experiment configuration.

To be a student in electrical technology.Study thoroughly do experiments with needed meters. Then your doubts will clear.

The only explanation of the 'concept' is ignorance. Adding a pure resistive load on an existing inductive, does change the total PF by changing the angle of the current vector but that's no PF correction, it's hiding inductive load in the crowd. S.M.

Nonsense.....

Can any one use resistance instead of capacitor?

What do the rest of "us" say?

When incandescent lamps are used across power supplies, they are referred to as ballasts. They can help voltage regulation by providing a non-linear load. As the supply voltage increases (and the lamps get hotter), the power they dissipate is proportionally less. We used to use them on CD welding power supplies to help regulate capacitor bank voltage.

Sounds like a case of semantics in the vocabulary..

...What do you use as a resistive load?

The answer to your question is, you use a resistor as a resistive load. However, a resistor is normally designed to have a low TCR. For ballast applications you normally want the high TCR which is provided by a tungsten filament. The resistance of these filaments varies about an order of magnitude between cold and rated voltage.
