    Impedance Load
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating load impedance for a circuit at different power factors (PF) of 0.95 leading, unity, and 0.45 lagging. Participants emphasize the importance of using the correct equations for power factor, including PF = P / (Ieff * Veff), and discuss how the power factor indicates the relationship between voltage and current. It is noted that for a leading power factor, the load is capacitive, while a lagging power factor suggests a reactive component. The user seeks clarification on the necessary information to determine both the angle and magnitude of the load impedance. Overall, understanding the impact of power factor on impedance is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

So what are the relevant equations? How does power factor affect the measured impedances? TBH, it's pretty hard to read your upload. It would be much better if you could learn to type your equations into your question threads
 
well PF=P/((Ieff)(Veff)), Ieff=Im/sqrt(2), Veff=Vm/sqrt(2), apparent power= (Veff)(Ieff), P=IV. PF depending on whether it is leading or lagging it can be purely resistive or reactive.
 
So A impedance value would have a reactive and resistive component. In (a) it is leading so purely resistive correct so it would just be the resistor value for R and I have a current so I can find V.

What does the power factor of the load tell you about the angle between the voltage across it and the current through it?

Anyway, you need more information than you have provided in the problem statement to determine both the angle and magnitude of the 'load' impedance. Are you sure you've included everything you were given?
 
yah that's it. I uploaded the circuit diagram if that helps R= 1000 ohm and I= 275(20 degrees) mA. Load, resistor, and current source are all in parallel
 
lets see here the current leads voltage here so capacitive load.If I am right then the cosine^-1(.95)=18.19 degrees?
