1. This document summarizes the characteristics of a parallel RL circuit with a voltage source V. 2. The total current I is equal to the sum of the resistor current IR and inductor current IL. The resistor current IR is in phase with the voltage V, while the inductor current IL lags the voltage by 90 degrees. 3. The voltage across each component is the same as the source voltage V. The current through the inductor IL lags the voltage by 100 degrees, while the resistor current IR is in phase with the voltage.

reactive power consumed

circuit
in inductive load

power factor correction is achieved by connecting capacitors in parallel with the load.
These capacitors supply reactive power, which counteracts the reactive power
consumed by the inductive load, thereby improving the power factor.
in capacitive load -
circuit
reactive power generated

Conversely, circuits with capacitive loads (e.g., power factor correction capacitors, certain types of
electronic equipment) can be corrected by connecting inductors in series with the load. The
inductors consume reactive power, compensating for the excess reactive power generated by the
capacitive load.
By improving the power factor, power factor correction reduces the amount of reactive power
flowing through the system, which results in reduced energy losses, improved voltage stability, and
increased overall efficiency. It is commonly implemented in industrial and commercial settings to
reduce electricity costs and improve the utilization of electrical systems.
