Network Elements and the Concept of Circuit

  1. A source Vs = 100 cos t is connected to an impedance which drawn a power Pav = 200 watts at power factor 0.8 lagging. The current drawn from the source is I = Im cos (t + θ). The value of Im and θ are given by—
    1. 5 and – cos– 1 0.8
    2. 5 and + cos– 1 0.8
    3. and cos– 1 0.8
    4. 5 and 0
Correct Option: A

We know that

Pav =
1
Vm Im cos θ
2

200 =
1
100 Im 0.8
2

÷ Im = 5
I=Im cos (ωt + θ) = 5 cos (ωt + θ)
Since power factor is lagging and hence,
θ = – cos–1 (0.8)
