Aim:
To study the voltage-current relationship in an R-L series circuit and to determine the power
factor of the circuit.
Apparatus:
Circuit Diagram:
Steps for experiment:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig.2
2. Vary the 1-∅ AC supply voltage with the help of 1- ∅ variac shown in Fig.2
3. Switch on the resistive load by switching various lamps in resistive lamp banks and vary the tapings of
the choke coils.
4. Take readings of Vs, I, VL, VR, and P.
5. Increase resistive and inductive load by switching and repeat the procedure as stated in steps 1 to 4.
6. Take at least 5 sets of readings and record the readings in table.
7. Calculate impedance of the circuit, the impedance of coil, the internal resistance of the coil, the
inductive reactance of coil, and the inductance of coil and power factor from read
Calculations/Theorems /Formulas used etc :
W =VI Cosϕ
Power factor, Cosϕ = [W/(VI)]
Therefore, ϕ = Cos-1[W/(VI)]
Observations/Discussions:
S.NO VOLTAGE (V) CURRENT (A) POWER (W) POWER FACTOR
1. 50 0.23 10 0.87
2. 100 0.37 30 0.81
3. 150 0.58 75 0.86
Percentage error (if any or applicable):
no errors encountered
Result/Output/Writing Summary:
The calculated and graphical values of phase angle, power, and power factor of R – L
series are calculated
In case of pure resistive circuit, the phase angle between voltage and current is
zero and in case of pure inductive circuit, phase angle is 90o but when we
combine both resistance and inductor, the phase angle of a series RL circuit is
between 0o to 90o.
