The effort required may be smaller or greater for one approach as compared to the other,<br />

depending on the structure of the circuit. The student should consider the relative difficulty<br />

of both techniques before solving the problem, to minimize the total effort.<br />

Example<br />

Find the apparent power and power factor of the circuit in Fig. 5.<br />

One solution technique is to first find the input impedance.<br />

Z =<br />

1<br />

1/4+1/j8+1/(6 − j11) = 1<br />

0.25 − j0.125 + 1/(12.53/ − 61.39 o )<br />

=<br />

1<br />

0.25 − j0.125 + 0.080/61.39 o = 1<br />

0.25 − j0.125 + 0.038 + j0.070<br />

=<br />

1<br />

0.288 − j0.055 = 1<br />

0.293/ − 10.79 o =3.41/10.79o Ω<br />

The input current is then<br />

I = V Z = 100/0o<br />

3.41/10.79 o =29.33/ − 10.79o A<br />

The apparent power is<br />

|S| = |V ||I| = 100(29.33) = 2933 VA<br />

The power factor is<br />

pf = cos θ = cos 10.79 o =0.982 lag<br />

Another solution technique is to find the individual component powers. We have to find the current<br />

I 3 to find the real and reactive powers supplied to that branch.<br />
