For an ac circuit consisting of a load connected to a Thévenin circuit, is it possible for the load voltage to exceed the Thévenin voltage in magnitude? If not, why not? If so, under what conditions is it possible? Explain.
A very important parameter in AC power circuits is power factor. Explain what “power factor” is, and define its numerical range. It is in the best interest of power distribution systems to maintain the power factors of distant loads as close to unity (1) as possible. Explain why.
