Simple tips to remember the phasor relationship b/W voltage and current for resistor , inductor and capacitor

Simple tips to remember the phasor relationship b/W voltage and current for resistor , inductor and capacitor

Remember the word "CIVIL"

In capacitor I leads V

In inductor I lags V




for pure capacitor I leads V by 90 deg


for pure inductor I lags V by 90 deg


for pure resistor I inphase with V (0 deg)

A resistance 5ohm inductance 0.02 H and capacitor 5 uf are connected in series.find the value of power factor at resonance condition.

A resistance 5ohm inductance 0.02 H and capacitor 5 uf are connected in series.find the value of power factor at resonance condition.

a. 0.6
b. 0.8
c. 0.9
d. 1

Answer:

at resonance condition,XL=XC and therefore Z=R, hence for pure resistive circuit pf will be unity.

A 1-hp motor draws 1000 watts. What is its efficiency ?

A 1-hp motor draws 1000 watts. What is its efficiency ?


Answer:

Efficiency = output / input

Therefore, efficiency = 746 / 1000 = 0.746

Efficiency = 74.6 %
