Can anyone please give me the solution to this problem.

The circuit gives an overall impedance of 30||-j40

ie., (30*-j40)/(30-j40)=-j1200/(30-j40)

Current I=V/R= 120/R

On solving we get I=4+j3

Phase angle = tan inverse of(3/4)=36.86

Please elaborate this step : (30*-j40)/(30-j40) = -j1200/(30-j40)?

This is a parallel circuit.

IR = V/R = 120/30 = 4A.
Zeq = 50.
IT = V/Zeq = 120/50 = 2.4A.
Cos theta (for parallel circuit) = IR/IT = 4/2.4.
So, the angle would be cos inverse * 4/2.4.
This does not compute.

Active power = v/r = 120/30 = 4A,

Reactive power = v/xc = 120/40 = 3A ,

Aparent power = sqrt (4^2 + 3^2) = 5A,

Angle = cos^-1( 4/5) = 36.87.

Tan' (r/xc) is the formula.

Ilon said:   7 years ago
θ= tan (R/Xc).

Pritam said:   5 years ago
θ= tan-1(wCR).
Xc=1/wC.
wC=1/Xc.
θ= tan-1(R/Xc).
