Q.

A circuit shown in the figure contains a box having either a capacitor or an inductor. The power factor of the circuit is 0.8, while current lags behind the voltage. Then find the inductance/capacitance of the box in S.I. unit. (Take π=3.2) The circuit draws 1 ampere current.

Detailed Solution

 Xc=Vc1=10001=1000Ω
Current lags behind voltage
So, box has an inductor
Power factor =0.8=RZ=800(800)2+(XL1000)2
XL=1600Ω       ωL=1600           L=16002×3.2×100=2.5H
