What is Pure Resistive?

A purely resistive load is one in which there is no capacitive or inductive reactance. Whe driven by an AC voltage source, such a load will have no shift in phase angle between voltage and current.


Is battery is inductive or capacitive load?

A battery is usually thought of as a source, not a load. If you are charging a battery, then it will be resistive, especially if you are attempting to charge it like you should, with a DC power supply (not AC).


What are capacitive loads?

A load, at low frequencies, can be either capacitive, resistive, or inductive. At high frequencies, all three aspects exist. At low frequencies (say <= 10 MHz), a capacitive load is a capacitor, represented by an ideal cap, the MOScap, or a junction cap. An unintentional capacitive load would be the wire or conductor to another wire or conductor or ground. At high frequencies (say >= 1 GHz), all things have a capacitive nature. The higher the frequency, the worst is the capacitive leak A capacitive load means just that the load acts like a capacitor load as opposed to a inductor or resistive load


What is meant by leading and lagging pf?

Power Factor is the ratio of true vs apparent power, and comes into play with a reactive (inductive or capacitive) load. A purely resistive load, such as a light bulb or toaster, will have a power factor of 1 because the current is in phase with the voltage. An inductive load, however, such as a motor, will have a power factor less than 1 because the current lags the voltage. You could also have a capacitive load, with a power factor less than 1, but in this case the current leads the voltage.AnswerThe terms, 'leading' and 'lagging' refer to whether a circuit's load current is leading or lagging the supply voltage. Current will 'lead' in resistive-capacitive (R-C) circuits, and 'lag' in resistive-inductive (R-L) circuits. So, a 'leading power factor' indicates a leading current, and applies to R-C circuits, while a 'lagging power factor' indicates a lagging current, and applies to R-L circuits.


Why is capacitive voltage higher than inductive voltage in an R-L-C circuit?

It isn't necessarily so. The capacitive voltage is the product of the current and capacitive reactance, while the inductive voltage is the product of the current and the inductive reactance. So it depends whether the capacitive reactance is greater or smaller than the inductive reactance!

Is iPhone Capacitive or resistive touch screen?

Resistive touchscreens are better if you do not wish to use a stylus. When a stylus is used, capacitive touchscreens respond better. The decision on which is better comes from the applications being used and the preferences of the user.


Which type of sensor is used in touch screen technology?

In mobile phones, Projected Capacitive (also called capacitive, procap, pcap, PCT) is the primary technology used in consumer devices like the iPad, iPhone, Droid, etc. Occasionally Analog Resistive is used, but the optics and durability of projected capcitive are much better than resistive.

What is significance of imaginary part in inductor?

No inductor is perfect and has a capacitive and resistive component. As frequency increases, these components have more effect on the circuit operation. A capacitive component would be out of phase and be the imaginary value.


Is ac better than dc for resistive heating?

no, heating is identical


In a purely resistive ac circuit the current and voltage?

Voltage and current will be in phase for a purely resistive load. As a load becomes more inductive or capacitive, the phase angle between voltage and current will increase.
