1. Aim: To study the voltage-current relationship in an R-L series circuit and to determine the power factor
of the circuit.

2. Apparatus:
3. Circuit Diagram:

4. Steps for experiment:

1. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig.2

2. Vary the 1-∅ AC supply voltage with the help of 1- ∅ variac shown in Fig.
3. Switch on the resistive load by switching various lamps in resistive lamp banks and vary
the tapings of the choke coils.
4. Take readings of Vs, I, VL, VR, and P.
5. Increase resistive and inductive load by switching and repeat the procedure as stated in
steps 1 to 4.
6. Take at least 5 sets of readings and record the readings in Table.
7. Calculate impedance of the circuit, the impedance of coil, the internal resistance of the
coil, the inductive reactance of coil, and the inductance of coil and power factor from
readings.
5. Calculations/Theorems /Formulas used etc

W =VI Cosϕ eq. (i)

Power factor, Cosϕ = [W/(VI)] eq. (ii)

Therefore, ϕ = Cos-1[W/(VI)] eq.(iii)
