Electric Current using Reactive Power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Current = Reactive Power/(Voltage*sin(Phase Difference))
I = Q/(V*sin(Φ))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sin - Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse., sin(Angle)

Variables Used

Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Current or AC is an electric current which periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time in contrast to direct current which flows only in one direction.
Reactive Power - (Measured in Watt) - Reactive Power is a measure of the energy exchange between the source and the reactive part of the load.
Voltage - (Measured in Volt) - Voltage is used to determine the value of the potential difference between terminals where alternating current flows.
Phase Difference - (Measured in Radian) - Phase Difference is defined as the difference between the phasor of apparent and real power (in degrees) or between voltage and current in an ac circuit.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Reactive Power: 134 Volt Ampere Reactive --> 134 Watt (Check conversion here)
Voltage: 130 Volt --> 130 Volt No Conversion Required

What is the difference between real power and reactive power?

Real Power is equal to the Reactive Power i.e. there is no VAr in DC Circuits. Only Real Power exists. There is no Reactive Power in DC circuits due to the zero phase angle (Φ) between current and voltage. Real power is important to produce heat and utilize the electric and magnetic field generated by Reactive Power.
