A LCR series circuit driven with Erms=90 V at frequency fd=30 Hz has resistance R=80 , an inductance with inductive reactance XL=20.0 and capacitance with capacitive reactance XC=80.0 . The power factor of the circuit is .
- 0.8
- 0.64
- 0.9
- 0.5
Answer
(1) 0.8
Solution
Z= R2+(XC-XL)2= 802+(80-20)2
= 6400+3600=100
∴ Power factor = = RZ= 80100=0.8
(Erms and fd are not needed.)
