Question 1

A 4 Ω resistor is connected in series with a non-resistive coil of L = 0.4 H and


a capacitor of 100 µF to a 100V 50Hz supply. Calculate the total reactive
power absorbed by the network. (106.37 VARS)

Question 2

The figure below shows a series-parallel circuit.

Calculate the ammeter readings, the input power factor, the complex power
“S”, the true power “P” and the reactive power “Q” taken by the circuit. (Use
the conjugate method). Then, draw a power diagram and a detailed phasor
diagram for the circuit. (1.32 −38.2 A,0.9 −43.66, 0.42 −26.95 A ,
