Question

For the circuit shown in Figure 7.4, determine apparent power S, real power P, reactive power Q
and power factor PF. Also, draw the power triangle. The source is 120 volts.

**Problem Description:**

**4. For the circuit shown in Figure 7.4, determine apparent power \( S \), real power \( P \), reactive power \( Q \) and power factor \( PF \). Also, draw the power triangle. The source is 120 volts.**

**Figure 7.4:**

The diagram represents an AC circuit composed of a voltage source \( E \) which is 120 volts. The circuit components include:

- A series impedance \( -j60 \) ohms (inductive reactance) between points \( a \) and \( b \).
- A series resistor \( 40 \) ohms between points \( b \) and \( c \).
- A parallel impedance \( j100 \) ohms (capacitive reactance) connected between point \( c \) and the ground.

**Detailed Analysis:**

1. **Determine Impedance:**

   - Calculate the total impedance of the circuit
   - Combine the series and parallel impendances appropriately

2. **Calculate Apparent Power \( S \):**

   - Use the formula \( S = V \cdot I^* \)
   - Convert voltage and impedance to phasor forms as needed

3. **Determine Real Power \( P \):**

   - Use the formula \( P = V \cdot I \cdot \cos(\theta) \)
   - Determine phase angle \( \theta \)

4. **Determine Reactive Power \( Q \):**

   - Use the formula \( Q = V \cdot I \cdot \sin(\theta) \)

5. **Calculate Power Factor \( PF \):**

   - Use the formula \( PF = \cos(\theta) \)
   
6. **Draw the Power Triangle:**

   - Apply calculations to illustrate the relationship between \( P \), \( Q \), and \( S \) on a right-angle triangle.

**Solution:**

1. **Impedance Calculation:**

   Combine the series and parallel impedances correctly to find the total impedance \(Z_{total}\):

   - Series impedance: \(Z_{series} = 40 + (-j60)\)
   - Summing this with the parallel impedance: Total \( Z = (40 - j60) \parallel j100 \)

2. **Circuit Current Calculation:**

   Calculate the current, \( I \), using Ohm's Law: \( I = \frac{
