Suppose you manage a factory that uses many electric
motors. The motors create a large inductive load to the
electric power line, as well as a resistive load. The electric
company builds an extra-heavy distribution line to supply
you with a component of current that is 90° out of phase
with the voltage, as well as with current in phase with the
voltage. The electric company charges you an extra fee for
“reactive volt-amps,” in addition to the amount you pay for
the energy you use. You can avoid the extra fee by
installing a capacitor between the power line and your
factory. The following problem models this solution.
In an RL circuit, a 120-V (rms), 60.0-Hz source is in
series with a 25.0-mH inductor and a 20.0-( resistor. What
are (a) the rms current and (b) the power factor?
(c) What capacitor must be added in series to make the
power factor 1? (d) To what value can the supply voltage
be reduced, if the power supplied is to be the same as
before the capacitor was installed?

Suppose power ! is to be transmitted over a distance d at a
voltage !V with only 1.00% loss. Copper wire of what diam-

ductors is uniform.

A diode is a device that allows current to be carried in only
