  1. A single phase transmisson line of impedance j 0.8 ohm supplies a resistive load of 500 A at 300 V. The sending end power factor is
    1. unity
    2. 0.8 lagging
    3. 0.8 leading
    4. 0.6 lagging
Correct Option: D

VS = Vr + IZs
= 300 + j 0.8 × [500 × 0.8 – 500 × 0.6]
= 300 + j 0.8 [400 – j 300]
= 300 + j 320 + 240 = 540 + j 320

=
320
= 0.6 lag
500
