The apparent power drawn by an A.C. circuit is 10 kVA and active power is 8 kW. The reactive power in the circuit is
a. 4 kVAR
b. 6 kVAR
c. 8 kVAR
d. none of these
Explanation: Fig. 1 below show the Power Triangle. It shows the relationship B/W apparent power, active and reactive Power.
Now As
(apparent power)² = (active power)² + (reactive power)²
(Reactive Power)2= (Apparent Power)2 -(Active Power)2
10² – 8² = (reactive power)²
100 – 64 = (reactive power)²
36 = (reactive power)²
reactive power = 6 kVAR
