Jaida · Answer 1

Rate of dissipation of energy at resistor

= I² R = 296

current I² = 296/R = 296 / 300

I = 0.9933 A.

Impedence Z = V / I = 500 /.9933

= 503 ohm.

B) Let it be V

voltage across resistance = 300 x. 9933 = 298 v

Now 500² = 298² + V²

V = 401 v

C) Power factor = R / Z

=300 / 503

= 0.596
