Answer the following questions and submit the word document under the correct assignment.
Make sure you save the file when your work is complete. If you don’t there will not be any
answers on the submission.
1. When a capacitor and a resistor are connected in parallel, how many degrees out of phase
are the current flow through the resistor and the current flow through the capacitor?

2. A capacitor and a resistor are connected in parallel to a 120-V, 60-Hz line. The resistor
has a resistance of 40 Ω , and the capacitor has a capacitance of 132.6 μF. What is the
total current flow through the circuit?

3. What is the impedance of the circuit in Question 2?

4. What is the power factor of the circuit in Question 2?

5. How many degrees out of phase are the current and voltage in Question 2?

6. Refer to the formulas in Appendix B in the Resistive-Capacitive Parallel Circuits section.

A resistor and capacitor are connected in parallel to a 208-V, 60-Hz power source. An
ammeter indicates a total circuit current of 46 amps, and a wattmeter indicates a true
power of 4975 W. What is the resistance of the circuit?

7. What is the capacitance of the capacitor in Question 6?

8. A resistor and capacitor are connected in parallel to a 277-V, 60-Hz power source. The
resistor has a value of 50 Ω and the capacitor has a value of 40 μF. What is the circuit
power factor?
