An industrial firm has two electrical loads connected in parallel across the power source. Power is supplied to the firm at 4000

V rms. One load is 30 kW of heating use, and the other load is a set of motors that together operate as a load at 0.6 lagging power factor and at 150 kVA. Determine the total current and the plant power factor.

Answer:

I = 27.65A < 40.59°

PowerFactor = 0.76

Explanation:

Current on the heating load is:

I1 = 30KW / 4KV = 7.5A < 0°

Current on the inductive load:

I2 = (150KVA*0.6) /4KV = 22.5A  with an angle of acos(0.6)=53.1°

The sum of both currents is:

It = I1 + I2 = 7.5<0° + 22.5<53.1° = 27.65<40.59°

Now, the power factor will be:

pf = cos (40.59°) = 0.76

What causes the pressure exerted by a gas in a container
yuradex [85]

The rapid motion and collisions of molecules with the walls of the container causes pressure (force on a unit area). Pressure is proportional to the number of molecular collisions and the force of the collisions in a particular area. The more collisions of gas molecules with the walls, the higher the pressure.

I hope this helps you.

How much power is delivered to a light bulb on a 120V, 0.5A<br> circuit?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

60 w

Explanation:

Given :

V= 120V

I=0.5 A

Now,

power can be calculated as :

P=VI

where,

V is voltage

I is current

Now,

P=(120)(0.5)

P=60 W

Therefore, 60w power is delivered to a light
