  1. In a two element series network, the voltage and current respectively given as,
    v (t) = 50 sin (314t) + 50 sin (942t) V
    i(t) = 10 sin (314t + 60°) + 8 sin (942t + 45°)

    i(t) = 10 sin (314t + 60°) + 8 sin (942t + 45°)A
    Average or Real power or True power = Power of fundamental + Power of harmonics
    or

    Pav =

    cos 60° +
    50 × 8
    cos 45°

    cos 60° +
    50 × 8

    = 125   3 + 100   2
    Now, Power factor =
    Average Power
    Apparent Power

    or
    Power factor =
    125 + 100    2
    (125 + 100    2)2 + (125 3 + 100    2)2
