A series L.R circuit connected with an ac source E=(25 1000t) V has a power factor of 1 2. If the source of emf is changed to E=(20 2000t) V, the new power factor of the circuit will be :
- 1 3
- 1 2
- 1 5
- 1 7
Answer
(3) 1 5
Solution
= R R2+XL2, XL= L
Initially = 1 2 XL=R at =1000 rad/s
doubles (2000 rad/s), XL'=2R (amplitude change has no effect)
'= R R2+4R2= 1 5
