Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

An AC circuit has a supply voltage of 120 V and an RMS current of 10 A, with a power factor of 0.75. Calculate the real power, reactive power, and apparent power.

💡 Hint: Use the formulas for real, apparent, and reactive power.

Challenge 2 Hard

In a certain AC load, if the real power consumed is 2000 W and the apparent power is 2500 VA, calculate the power factor and interpret its significance.

💡 Hint: Remember that power factor reflects how effectively the load uses electricity.
