Question:
An arc welder presents a load made up of a 100- \(\Omega\) resistor in parallel with a \(12-\mu \mathrm{F}\) capacitor in a \(60-\mathrm{Hz}, 110-\mathrm{V}\) (rms) supply.
(a) Find the complex power delivered to the load and the load power factor. State whether the power factor is lagging or leading. Verify your answers using Multisim.
(b) An inductive motor of \(100 \mathrm{mH}\) is connected across the same load. How does the power factor change?
(c) What would you recommend to the user about adding the induction motor to the arc-welder circuit?
