Assignment 1.1
The voltage measured across a coil is 135 V when a direct current of 5,625 A is passed through the coil. The voltage across the coil is 225 V with an alternating current of 5,625 A at 50 Hz. The coil is then connected to a 300-V, 60-Hz supply.
1.1.1 Calculate the current through the coil.1.1.2 Calculate the active and reactive components of this current.1.1.3 Calculate the power factor of the coil.
Solution:

A circuit draws 4,8 A from a 220-V, 50-Hz supply. The active power dissipated by the circuit is 219,65 W. A capacitor with a value of 110 F is connected in series with the circuit. This causes the magnitude of the input current to increase.
1.2.1 Calculate the values of the original circuit elements.1.2.2 Calculate the current after the capacitor is connected in the circuit.1.2.3 Calculate the power factor of the circuit.
Solution:
1.2.1 Since the input current increases when a capacitor is connected in series with the circuit, it means the original circuit is inductive.

7,85= (12,35){sin[(471,24)(t1)(180π )]}
And: t1 = 1,462 ms
Because 471,24t is in radians, it has to be multiplied by 180π to change
the factor to degrees in order to find the sine value. Refer to Figure 1.7. One full cycle equals one period. Thus, the second time that the current will reach 7,85 A, will be one period added to the value of the first time. Therefore:
