Step 7.

I = 0.019mA rms VL = 7.239V rms V = 12V rms

Step 8. Real AC Power(P)

2
P=I 2 R=( 0.0 19 x 10−3 ) ( 500 )
P=1.81 mW

Step 9. Reactive Power(Q)

2
Q=V L I =I 2 X L =( 0.019 x 10−3 ) (376.99)

Q=0.137VAR

Step 10. Apparent Power(S)

2 2 2 2
S= √ P +Q = √ ( 1.81 ) + ( 0.136 )
S=1.83 VA
 Step 11. Power Triangle and Power Factor (PF)

P 1.81
pf =cos θ= =
S 1.8 3

S = 1.83 mVA
Q = 0.136 VAR
pf =0.9 8 V
θ=11.48 °
P = 1.81 mW θ=cos−1(0.9 8)

Step 12. Phase(Theta) & Power Factor(PF)

θ=11.48 °
pf =cos (11.48 ° )=0.98 V

Question:

Power factor in step 12 and step 11 are the same. It is “Leading” power factor because current leads the
voltage by 11.48° .
