for c) we not need to calculate the total P ? just P in each resistance ? :rolleyes:
and for b) we just use the magnitude of Vab and how about the XL ?
c) active power dissipated in each resisance
formula p=(I^2)*R
[( V∠0 (3R+Xl∠90 )) / ( 3R+2RXl∠90 )]^2 *R
d) reactive power dissipated in XL
Q=I^2 * jXL
[( V∠0 (3R+Xl∠90 )) / ( 3R+2RXl∠90 )]^2 * Xl∠90
so for Power Factor
P/Q =
[(( V∠0 (3R+Xl∠90 )) / ( 3R+2RXl∠90 ))^2 *R] / [(( V∠0...
for f) calculate the power factor of the circuit.
power factor = true power / apparent power which is (I^2 *R) / (I^2 *Z)
so i can use the equation in c) which is the active power dissipated in each resistance divide by d) which is the reactive power dissipated in XL by using power factor...
