An inductive load (RL load) is connected in series with a non-inductive resistance of 8 Ώ. The combination is connected across an ac supply of 100 V, 50 Hz. A voltmeter connected across the non-inductive resistor and then across the inductive load gives the readings of 64 V and 48 V respectively. Calculate i) impedance of the combination ii) current in the circuit iii) power absorbed by the load i

An inductive load (RL load) is connected in series with a non-inductive resistance of 8 Ώ. The
combination is connected across an ac supply of 100 V, 50 Hz. A voltmeter connected across
the non-inductive resistor and then across the inductive load gives the readings of 64 V and 48
V respectively. Calculate i) impedance of the combination ii) current in the circuit iii) power
absorbed by the load iv) power absorbed by the resistor v) power factor of the load vi) power
factor of the whole circuit
