Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the power consumed in an AC circuit with a voltage of 230V and a current of 5A with a power factor of 0.8? (2023)
  • Step 1: Identify the voltage in the circuit, which is 230V.
  • Step 2: Identify the current in the circuit, which is 5A.
  • Step 3: Identify the power factor, which is 0.8.
  • Step 4: Use the formula for power in an AC circuit: Power = Voltage × Current × Power Factor.
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: Power = 230V × 5A × 0.8.
  • Step 6: Calculate the result: 230 × 5 = 1150, then 1150 × 0.8 = 920.
  • Step 7: The power consumed in the circuit is 920W.
