Electric Current using Real Power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Current = Real Power/(Voltage*cos(Phase Difference))
I = P/(V*cos(Φ))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(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.
Real Power - (Measured in Watt) - The Real Power P is the average power in watts delivered to a load. It is the only useful power. It is the actual power dissipated by 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

Real Power: 235 Watt --> 235 Watt No Conversion Required
Voltage: 130 Volt --> 130 Volt No Conversion Required
Phase Difference: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

I = P/(V*cos(Φ)) --> 235/(130*cos(0.5235987755982))

Evaluating ... ...

I = 2.08734328091634

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.08734328091634 Ampere --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.08734328091634 ≈ 2.087343 Ampere <-- Current

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.
