Given data:-
Parallel connected R-L load
Supply voltage, $V=200\ Volts$
Supply frequency,$f=50Hz$
Resistance of circuit, $R=10\Omega$
Inductance of the circuit, $L=31.8mH = 0.0318\ Henery$
As inductive reactance of the circuit is given by, $X_L=\omega L=2\pi fL$
$\therefore X_L=2\pi fL=2\pi\times 50\times 0.0318=9.99\Omega\approx10\Omega$
Lets consider Parallel connected R-L circuit shown in figure below-
(i) Current through resistive branch:-
$I=\dfrac{V}{R}=\dfrac{200}{10}=20\ A$
Current in resistive branch is in phase of voltage.
(ii) Current through pure inductive branch:-
$I_L=\dfrac{V}{X_L}=\dfrac{200}{10}=20\ A$
Current through pure inductor lags the voltage by 900.
Lets consider the voltage & current phasor for given circuit as shown in figure below-
(ii) Total resultant current:-
From above phasor, total current, $I=\sqrt{I_R^2+I_L^2}=\sqrt{10^2+10^2}=10\sqrt2\ A$
(iv) Power factor:-
Power factor angle, $\phi = \tan^{-1}\dfrac{X_L}{R}= \tan^{-1}\dfrac{10}{10}=45^0$
As power factor of a load is given, $\cos\phi$
$\therefore load\ power\ factor, \cos\phi=\cos45=0.71 \ lagging$
