A) P(t) = 2651.25 [ 1 - cos2wt ] W

B)  Real power = 999.79 watts

    Reactive power = 2652.86 VA

c) power factor = 0.3526

Explanation:

Given data:

V(t) = 141.4 cos (ωt)

R(t) = 10 Ω

Inductive reactance XL = ωL = 3.77 Ω

Ir(t) = V(t) / R(t) = 14.14

A) Calculate the instantaneous power absorbed by the resistor and by inductor

By resistor :

Pr(t) = V(t) * Ir(t) = 141.4 * 14.14 = 1999.396

      hence Pr  = 999.698 (cos2ωt + 1) w

By Inductor :

Pl(t) = V(t) I'L(t) = 141.4 cosωt * 37.5 cos(ωt - 90)  

                        =  5302.5

Hence Pl(t) = 5302.5   w  =  2651.25 [ 1 - cos2wt ] W

B) calculate the real and reactive power

First we have to determine the power factor

Given that : V(t) = 141.4 cosωt  v ,   Ir(t) = 14.14 cosωt A

IL(t) = 37.5 cos (ωt - 90° )

The phasor representation of the above is :

V = = 141.4 ∠0° ,  Ir = 10 ∠ 0° , IL = 37. 5 ∠ -90°

Total load current = Ir + IL = 28.35 ∠ -69.35°

power factor = cos -69.35° = 0.3526

Next we will determine the Real and reactive power using the relation below

S = VI = 100 ∠ 0°  * 28.35 ∠ -69.35°

         = 2835 ∠ 69.35°

S = P + jQ = 999.79 + 2652.85 j

Real power  = 999.79 watts

Reactive power = 2652.85 VA

i would say

the components of a vector are the parts of the vectors that are to each other.
