OK, Hello!
Have to make sure as I felt like I knew my stuff but failed my first exam, am I on the right tracks?
Power Factor = Cosine of phase angle
Phase angle = Tan Inverse ((XL-Xc)/R)
(So you know)
XL= Inductive Reactance
Xc= Capacitive Reactance
R = Resisstance
Am I right so far?
And for the phasor diagram, since in this case XL > Xc it would be illustrated as a horizontal line going towards the right, marked as Voltage, and a second line would go from the origin of the Voltage line downwards at an angle which would be the Phase angle, this second line illustrating the Current. Is that all I would have to do if I was told to draw a phasor diagram?
Is all this correct? My confidence has been wounded :(,,! I must make sure!, so please help if you can!
