प्रश्न
A resistance is connected to an AC source. If a capacitor is included in the series circuit, will the average power absorbed by the resistance increase or decrease? If an inductor of small inductance is also included in the series circuit, will the average power absorbed increase or decrease further?
उत्तर
When a capacitor is included in a series circuit, the impedance of the circuit,
`Z =sqrt(R^2 + Xc^2`
The power absorbed by a resistor is given by,
`P = Irms^2R`
Since impedance increases due to introduction of a capacitor, the rms value of current Irms will decrease and, hence, the power absorbed by the resistor will decrease.
When a small inductance is introduced in the circuit, the impedance of the circuit,
`Z = sqrt(R^2 + (X_c - X_L)^2`
Since the impedance now decreases a little, the rms value of current will increase and, hence, the power absorbed by the resistor will increase.

Ajit had a high tension tower erected on his farm land. He kept complaining to the authorities to remove it as it was occupying a large portion of his land. His uncle, who was a teacher, explained to him the need for erecting these towers for efficient transmission of power. As Ajit realised its significance, he stopped complaining.
Answer the following questions:
(a) Why is it necessary to transport power at high voltage?
(b) A low power factor implies large power loss. Explain.
(c) Write two values each displayed by Ajit and his uncle.
