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

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.
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).
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
Which power factor is advantage lagging or leading and why?
A lagging power factor is caused by inductive reactance, which is composed of resistance and inductance -- and the resistance component lowers the supply volts. A leading power factor provides capacitive reactance that actually helps improve source voltage -- this helps motor loads run cooler.
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
Is a transformer load inductive or capacitive?
A transformer is fundamentally a set of coils; therefore, a transformer is an inductive load. However, by "transformer load", you seem to mean "the load that is connected to a transformer". Whether that load is inductive or capacitive depends mostly on what is hooked up to the transformer.
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.
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.
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.

What is the difference between inductive coupling and capacitive coupling?
A capacitor is a device that resists a change in voltage, proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance. dv/dt = i/c An inductor is a device that resists a change in current, proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to inductance. di/dt = v/l In an AC circuit with capacitive loading, the current waveform will lead the voltage waveform; while with inductive loading, the current waveform will lag the voltage waveform.
What is the effect of an inductive or capacitive load under no load conditions?
A load of any type,,,inductive or capacitive , would effect the circuit even if THOSE "loads" had no load on them. They would still have a load effect on the circuit they are connected to.Answer'Under no-load conditions' means that no load is connected to the supply. So your question doesn't make sense!
What is the power dissipated by a reactive load?
No power is dissipated by a load composed exclusively of either capacitive or inductive reactance.
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).
Would a computer be considered a capacitive load?
No because the very first component in the power supply is a transformer, which makes for it being an inductive 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.
