The temperature of a noninductive heater unit is controlled by a reactor. The heater unit and the reactor are connected in series across a 250 V, 60 Hz source. The voltage across the heater unit is 200 V. The voltage across the reactor is 100 V. The current in the circuit is 10 A. Determine: the power factor of the series circuit. the power factor of the reactor. the impedance of the reactor.
