For the series LCR circuit connected with 220 V, 50 Hz a.c. source as shown in the figure, the power factor is 10. The value of is . [figure]
- 4
- 8
- 6
- 10
Answer
(3) 6
Solution
R = 60 , XL = 70 , XC = 150
Impedance: Z = R2 + (XC - XL)2 = 602 + 802 = 100
Power factor: = RZ = 60100 = 610
= 6
Answer: (3)
