A resistor of $$500 \Omega$$, an inductance of $$0.5 H$$ are in series with an a.c. which is given by $$V = 100\sqrt{2} \sin{\left(1000 t\right)}$$. The power factor of the combination is
Given : $$L = 0.5 H$$ $$R = 500\Omega$$
On comparing source voltage with $$V = V_o \sin(wt)$$
We get $$w = 1000$$ $$s^{-1}$$
Inductive reactance $$X_L = wL = 1000\times 0.5 = 500\Omega$$
Power factor $$\cos\phi = \dfrac{R}{\sqrt{X_L^2 +R^2}}$$
$$\therefore$$ $$\cos\phi = \dfrac{500}{\sqrt{(500)^2 +(500)^2}}$$
Or $$\cos\phi = \dfrac{500}{500\sqrt{2}} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$$
For the LCR circuit, shown here, the current is observed to lead the applied voltage. An additional capacitor C', when joined with the capacitor C present in the circuit, makes the power factor of the circuit unity. The capacitor C', must have been connected in parallel with C and has a magnitued

In an electrical circuit R, L, C and an a.c.voltage source are all connected in series.When L is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between the voltage and the currentin the circuit is $$\pi /3$$. If instead, C is removed from the circuit the phase difference is again $$\pi /3$$. The power factor of the circuit is
Above figure, shows an $$ac$$ generator connected to a “black box” through a pair of terminals. The box contains an $$RLC$$ circuit, possibly even a multiloop circuit, whose elements and connections we do not know. Measurements outside the box reveal that, $$\xi \left ( t \right )=\left ( 75.00 \right )\sin \omega _{d}t$$ and $$i\left ( t \right )=\left ( 1.20A \right )\sin\left ( \omega _{d}t+42.0^{0} \right )$$. (a) What is the power factor? (b) Does the current lead or lag the $$emf$$? (c) Is the circuit in the box largely inductive or largely capacitive? (d) Is the circuit in the box in resonance? (e) Must there be a capacitor in the box? (f) An inductor? (g) A resistor? (h) At what average rate is energy delivered to the box by the generator? (i) Why don’t you need to know $$\omega _{d}$$ to answer all these questions?
