Q7: Two circuits, the impedance of which are given by Z1 =10+j15 and,
Z2 = 6-j8 ohms are connected in parallel. If the total current supplied is
15A, what is the power taken by each branch? Find also the power factor
of the individual circuits and of the combination. Draw the vector
diagram.
Ans: P1 = 736W, P2 = 1432W, p.f1 = .544(lag), p.f2 = 0.6(lead), total p.f
= 0.937( lead)
