A coil takes a current of 10.0 A and dissipates 1410 W
when connected to a 230 V, 50 Hz sinusoidal supply.
When another coil is connected in parallel with it,
the total current taken from the supply is 20.0 A at a
power factor of 0.866. Determine the current and the
overall power factor when the coils are connected in
series across the same supply.
230*10*CosA = 1410.
CosA = 0.6130 = Power factor.
A = 52.2o. = Phase angle.
I^2*R = 1410W.
10^2 * R = 1410.
R1 = 14.1 Ohms. = Resistance of coil.
Tan52.2 = Xl/R = Xl/14.1
Xl = 14.1*Tan52.2 = 18.2 Ohms=Reactance
of coil.
Z1 = R1/CosA = 14.1/Cos52.2 = 23 Ohms.
Parallel:
Zp = 230/20 = 11.5 Ohms.
CosA = 0.866.
A = 30o
Zp = 11.5[30o] Ohms.
Rp = 11.5*Cos30 = 9.96 Ohms.
Xp = 11.5*sin30 = 5.75 Ohms.
1/14.1 + 1/R2 = 1/9.96.
1/R2 = 1/9.96-1/14.1 = 0.0295.
R2 = 33.9 Ohms.
1/X2 + 1/18.2 = 1/5.75.
1/X2 = 1/5.75 - 1/18.2 = 0.1190.
X2 = 8.41 Ohms.
Series:
Z = (R1+R2) + j(X1+X2).
Z = (14.1+33.9) + j(18.2+8.41).
Z = 48 + j26.6 = 54.9 Ohms[29o].
I = E/Z = 230/54.9 = 4.2 Amps.
Pf = Cos29o = 0.875.

To solve this problem, we will use the formulas for power, current, and power factor in an AC circuit.
1. When the coils are connected in parallel:
Given:
- Current through the coil = 10.0 A
- Power dissipated by the coil = 1410 W
- Voltage of the sinusoidal supply = 230 V
From the power formula: Power = Voltage x Current x Power Factor
We can rearrange the formula to solve for power factor:
Power Factor = Power / (Voltage x Current)
Substituting the given values:
Power Factor = 1410 / (230 x 10.0) = 0.613
2. When the coils are connected in series:
Given:
- Total current taken from the supply = 20.0 A
- Power factor = 0.866
From the power formula: Power = Voltage x Current x Power Factor
To find the current when the coils are connected in series, we need to know the voltage. However, it is not provided in the given information. Therefore, we cannot determine the exact current and power factor when the coils are connected in series.
Please provide the voltage when the coils are connected in series, and I will be able to provide you with the accurate results.
To determine the current and overall power factor when the coils are connected in series across the same supply, we can use the formulas and concepts of power factor and impedance.
First, let's calculate the impedance of the individual coil. We can use the formula:
Z = V / I
Where:
Z is the impedance of the coil,
V is the voltage across the coil, and
I is the current through the coil.
For the first coil:
V = 230 V
I = 10.0 A
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Z1 = 230 V / 10.0 A = 23 Ω
Now, let's calculate the impedance of the second coil. Since it is connected in parallel with the first coil, we can use the concept of parallel impedance. The formula for calculating the parallel impedance is:
Zp = (1 / Z1 + 1 / Z2)^-1
Where:
Zp is the parallel impedance, and
Z1 and Z2 are the impedances of the individual coils.
We already know the value of Z1, so let's assume Z2 as Zp for now.
So, substituting the values into the formula, we get:
Zp = (1 / 23 Ω + 1 / Z2)^-1
Next, let's calculate the impedance in polar form. The power factor provides us with the angle of the impedance—this is given as 0.866.
The power factor, cos(θ), is defined as:
cos(θ) = Re(Z) / |Z|
Where:
Re(Z) is the real part of the impedance, and
|Z| is the magnitude of the impedance.
We know the power factor, cos(θ), is 0.866.
Using this information, we can find the real part, Re(Z), of the impedance:
cos(θ) = Re(Z) / |Z|
0.866 = Re(Z) / |Z|
Let's assume |Z| = Zp, and substitute the value of Re(Z) into the equation:
0.866 = Re(Z) / |Zp|
0.866 = Re(Z) / |Zp| = Re(Z) / Zp
Re(Z) = 0.866 * Zp
Now, let's convert the impedance to polar form:
Zp = R + jX
Where:
R is the resistance component, and
X is the reactance component.
Since the impedance is given as Zp, we can directly substitute:
Zp = R + jX = (0.866 * Zp) + jX
At this point, we have two unknowns (R and X) with one equation. We need some more information to solve for R and X.
Therefore, we cannot determine the individual values of R and X for the parallel combination of coils.
However, we can calculate the overall impedance, Zs, when the two coils are connected in series.
For resistances in series, the total resistance is the sum of individual resistances. Thus, when two resistances (impedances) are connected in series, the total impedance is simply their algebraic sum:
Zs = Z1 + Z2
Substituting the value of Z1 = 23 Ω, we have:
Zs = 23 Ω + Z2
We don't know the exact value of Z2, but we do know that Z2 = Zp (the parallel impedance we calculated earlier).
So, the overall impedance, Zs, when the coils are connected in series is:
Zs = 23 Ω + Zp
Finally, to calculate the current and overall power factor, we can use the formulas:
I = V / Zs
Power Factor = cos(θ) = Re(Zs) / |Zs|
Substituting the values of V = 230 V and Zs = 23 Ω + Zp, we can calculate the current and overall power factor for the series connection of the coils.
Please note that to solve for the actual values of R, X, and Zp, we would need more information about the reactance and power factors of the individual coils.
