An a.c. generator is connected to a sealed box through a pair of terminals. The box may cantain R,L,C or series combination of any two of the three elements. Measurements made outside the box show that `E = (75 sin omega t)` volt and `I = 1.2 sin (omega t + pi//5) A` (i) Name the circuit elements (ii) What is the power factor of the circuit (iii) What is the rat at which energy is delivered by the generator to the circuit ? |

Answer» Here, `E = (75 sin omega t)` volt and `I = 1.2 sin (omega t + pi//5)` As current leads the e.m.f by a phase angle `pi//5`, therefore, the box must contain a series combination of resistor (R ) and capacitor (C ). (ii) Power factor of the circuit is `cos phi = cos pi//5 = 0.81` (iii) Rate at which energy is delivered by the generator to the circuit is `P = E_(v) I_(v) cos phi` `P = (75)/(sqrt2)xx(1.2)/(sqrt2)xx0.81 = 36.45` watt |
