Watts or kilowatts are units for measuring power. Specialy by alternating electric curent Watt is only for the resistive component.

No power loss occurs in a ideal inductor or capacitor.

The curent for an given power is minimal when V an I are in fase, when fi is 0, and the powerfactor cos fi is 1.

The generator power is P (VA) = V*I

The active power is Pa (W) = V*I*cos fi

The reactive component Pr (VA) = V*I*sin fi

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.


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.


What is non inductive load?

non- inductive load is without motor and transformer loads are non-inductive load, purely resistive are capacitive loads phase angle is unity are leading PF A non-inductive load is a load whose current does not change instantaneously.

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).


Why resistance is neglected for fault finding?

A fault can be resistive in nature, and the amount of resistance in the fault is unpredictable. It is unusual for a fault to be inductive or capacitive, so a typical method is to determine the impedance to the fault, and compare only the inductive part of this to the inductive part of the line impedance.


Do air conditioners use resistive load or inductive load?

resistive loadAnswerIf the current is driving a motor, then the load is resistive-inductive.


What is the difference between an inductive and a capacitive load?

Resistance load it means there is passive load to impede current flow. Inductive load means there is a coil as a load while still a passive it has its own characteristics which differs from a resistive load which is linear while inductive is not linear load


Does low load in transformer lead to low power factor?

Power factor is determined by the nature (resistive, inductive, capacitive) of a load, not whether it is a low load or a high load.


What is the Difference between resistive and capacitive load?

when a resistive load is applied there is no phase angle difference between voltage and current. when a inductive load is applied there is phase difference between voltage and current. current lags voltage by an angle of 90 degrees for pure inductive load


What is the definition of the word impedence?

The word "Impedance" is much over used, often to mean "resistance". The proper meaning of the word means the total impedance of a circuit, including the resistive, capacitive, and inductive components. It is always frequency dependant, so that there are standard practices as to the frequency used to measure it. For example, a general purpose loudspeaker may be specified as having 8 ohms impedance. This takes account of the resistive, inductive, and capacitive components, usually at 1000 Hz. The antenna input to a TV set is usually 75 ohms (or maybe 50 ohms!), measured at some point in the middle of it's frequency range. It is always good to make sure that the antenna and feeder co-ax has the same characteristic impedance.
