In a series LRLR circuit, power of 400W400W is dissipated from a source of 250V,50Hz250V, 50Hz. The power factor of the circuit is 0.80 . 8. In order to bring the power factor to unity, a capacitor of value CC is added in series to the LandRL and R. Taking the value of CC as \left(\dfrac{n}{3\pi}\right)\mu F,thenvalueof, then value ofn is

Step-by-step solution

P=VmP = {V}_{m}. in cosϕcosϕ

400=250×1m×0.8400 = 250 \times 1m \times 0 .8

irms=2A{i}_{rms} = 2A

(1m)2.R=P{\left(1m\right)}^{2} . R = P

4×R=4004 \times R = 400

⇒⇒ R=100ΩR = 100Ω.

cosϕ=RR2+XL2cosϕ = \dfrac{R}{\sqrt{{R}^{2} + {X}_{L}^{2}}}

1002+XL2=(1000.8)2{100}^{2} + {X}_{L}^{2} = {\left(\dfrac{100}{0 .8}\right)}^{2}

1002+XL2=(1000.8)2{100}^{2} + {X}_{L}^{2} = {\left(\dfrac{100}{0 .8}\right)}^{2}

XL=75Ω{X}_{L} = 75Ω

Power factor is unity

XC=XL=75{X}_{C} = {X}_{L} = 75

1ω=75\dfrac{1}{\omega} = 75

⇒⇒ C=175×2H×50=17500πFC = \dfrac{1}{75 \times 2H \times 50} = \dfrac{1}{7500\pi}F

3π×25003\pi \times 2500

=13π×4×102mF= \dfrac{1}{3\pi} \times 4 \times {10}^{2}mF

=4003πμF= \dfrac{400}{3\pi}\mu F

N=400N = 400
