c) The apparent power is 344.8 W
d) The power factor is 0.92
Explanation:
a)
For a circuit made of a resistor and a capacitor, the average (true) power is given by the resistive part of the circuit only.
Therefore, the average true power is given by:
where
I is the current
R is the resistance
In this problem, we have
V = 67 V (rms voltage)
is the resistance of the load
is the reactance of the circuit
First we have to find the impedance of the circuit:
Then we can find the current in the circuit by using Ohm's law:
Therefore, the average true power is
b)
The reactive power of a circuit consisting of a resistor and a capacitor is the power given by the capacitive part of the circuit.
Therefore, it is given by
where
I is the current
X is the reactance of the circuit
In this circuit, we have
(current)
(reactance)
Therefore, the reactive power is
c)
In a circuit with a resistor and a capacitor, the apparent power is given by both the resistive and capacitive part of the circuit.
Therefore, it is given by
where
I is the current
Z is the impedance of the circuit
Here we have
I = 5.15 A (current)
(impedance)
Therefore, the apparent power is
d)
For a circuit with a resistor and a capacitor, the power factor is the ratio between the true power and the apparent power. Mathematically:
where
P is the true power
S is the apparent power
For this circuit, we have
P = 318.3 W (true power)
S = 344.8 W (apparent power)
So, the power factor is
