Concept:

The load impedance is given by:

Z = R + j X (for lagging load)

Z = R - j X (for leading load)

F1 Savita Engineering 2-7-22 D33

The power factor is given by:

\(cosϕ = {R \over Z}\)

\(cosϕ = {R \over \sqrt{R^2+X^2}}\)

Calculation:

Given, Z = 20 - j20

\(cosϕ = {20 \over \sqrt{(20)^2+(20)^2}}\)

cosϕ = 0.707 leading
