Q1. (11 pts) The voltage of v(t) = 1 sin(100πt − 30o ) is applied across a certain load. The
resultant currents is given by i(t) = 1 sin(100πt − 90o ).

(a) (4 pts) Plot the voltage, the current, and the instantaneous power of this load on the
same area shown.

(b) (1 pts) What is the power frequency?

(c) (1 pts) What is the power factor (PF)?

(d) (1 pts) What is average power (P)?

(e) (1 pts) What is the reactive power (Q)?

(f) (1 pts) What is the complex power?

(g) (1 pts) What is the maximum power value and the occurring time?

(h) (2 pts) What are the physical values of the element consisting of the load?
 Q2. (8 pts) In the circuit shown the RL is adjusted to absorb the maximum average power.
Find this power:

 Q3.[ABET ] (8 pts) Find the capacitor value connected in parallel with the load to obtain
a 0.95 power factor lagging. Assume a 50 Hz source frequency. What is the complex power
delivered by the source before and after the power factor is corrected? Sketch a phasor diagram
to explain your answer.
