Answer:
(a) Z = 48.3 Ω
(b) cos ∅ = 0.455
(c) Irms = 10.35 A
(d) C = 74.02 μF
(e) Irms = 4.44 A
Explanation:
Power (P) = 2.36 kW
Frequency (f) = 50 Hz
RMS Voltage (Vrms) = 500 V
Resistance (R) = 22 Ω
Inductive Reactance (XL) = 43 Ω
(a) to calculate the total impedance, use the formula:
Z = √(R² + XL²)
= √((22)² + (43)²)
= √2333
Z = 48.3 Ω
(b) To calculate the plant's power factor, we will use the formula:
cos ∅ = R/Z
= 22/48.3
cos ∅ = 0.455
(c) To calculate the RMS current used by the plant, divide the RMS voltage value by the impedance of the plant.
Irms = Vrms/Z
= 500/48.3
Irms = 10.35 A
(d) For the power factor to become unity, the inductive reactance must be equal to the capacitive reactance i.e. Xc = XL
Xc = XL
1/(2πfC) = XL
1/(2πfXL) = C
C = 1/(2π*50*43)
= 7.402 x 10⁻⁵
C = 74.02 μF
(e) P = Vrms*Irms*cos∅
Irms = P/Vrms*cos∅
= 2.22 x 10³/500*1
Irms = 4.44 A
Answer: Base units
The principal SI units that are used to derive all other SI units are called base units. The base units are the units of fundamental quantities e.g. M L T that is Mass, Length, and Time. All other physical quantities can be written in the fundamental dimension forms. The physical quantities are not measured directly but are build up from the building blocks that are the fundamental quantities which have base units.
Yes that answer is correct because sometimes tides cause waves to happen
