What is apparent power?

Apparent power is the total power in a circuit, measured in volt-amperes (VA). It represents the overall power flowing, including both real power used by the load and reactive power stored in the circuit.

How does inductive reactance affect circuit power factor?

As inductive reactance (XL) increases, the circuit's power factor decreases. This means less power is actually used by the load, and more is stored in the magnetic field created by the inductor.

How does AC frequency affect coil reactance?

As the frequency of the applied AC increases, the reactance of a coil also increases. This is because the coil resists changes in current more strongly at higher frequencies.

Why is AC preferred over DC?

AC is preferred over DC for many reasons: It's more economical to produce, transmission is more efficient, and AC voltage can be easily changed using transformers.

Why are high voltages used in power transmission?

High voltages are used in power transmission to minimize power loss due to resistance, which is proportional to the square of the current (I²R). Increasing the voltage reduces the current for the same power, thus minimizing power loss.

What is the root-mean-squared (rms) value?

The rms value of an alternating current or voltage is the equivalent DC value that produces the same heating effect. It's calculated as the square root of the mean of the squared values of the waveform over one period.

Which quantities are represented as imaginary numbers in AC circuits?

Reactance, which is the opposition to the flow of alternating current caused by capacitors and inductors, is represented as an imaginary number. Resistance, which is the opposition to the flow of current in a DC circuit, is a real number.

What is impedance in rectangular form?

Impedance (Z) in rectangular form represents the total opposition to current flow in an AC circuit. It consists of two components: resistance (R) and reactance (X), expressed as Z = R + jX, where 'j' is the imaginary unit.

How does voltage relate to current in an inductive circuit?

In an inductive circuit, the voltage leads the current by 90 degrees. This means the voltage reaches its peak value before the current does.

What happens to the phase angle in a series RL circuit when frequency decreases?

When frequency decreases in a series RL circuit, the phase angle between the voltage and current decreases. This is because inductive reactance (XL) is directly proportional to frequency, so it decreases as frequency decreases.
