  1. A single-phase load is supplied by a single-phase volt age source. If the current flowing from the load to the source is 10∠– 150°A and if the voltage at the load terminals is 100 ∠60°V, then the
    1. load absorbs real power and delivers reactive power.
    2. load absorbs real power and absorbs reactive power.
    3. load delivers real power and delivers reactive power.
    4. load delivers real power and absorbs reactive power.
Correct Option: B


V = 100 ∠60°
I = – 10 ∠– 150°C (source to load current)

P complex power
= VI* =100∠60° 10°– 30° = 1000 ∠30°
= 1000 cos 30° + j 1000 sin 30°
Hence load absorbs both active and reactive power.
