This time, we will calculate the average power using the formula Pavg = (1/T) ∫p(t) dt.
If the power varies sinusoidally, we can substitute the expression p(t) = VI cos(ωt + φ).
Integrating this expression over one complete cycle, we can find the average power.

To calculate the real power (P), we use the formula P = S cos(φ).
Substitute the given values in the formula: P = 1200 VA × 0.9 = 1080 W.
Power Factor Correction
In many practical situations, it is desired to improve the power factor of an inductive circuit.
Power factor correction involves adding components such as capacitors to offset the reactive power.

Eddy Currents in Inductive Circuits
Eddy currents are loops of electrical currents induced in conductive materials when exposed to changing magnetic fields.
In inductive circuits, rapidly changing magnetic fields can induce eddy currents in nearby conductive materials.
Eddy currents can cause energy losses, heating, and inefficiencies in the system.
To minimize the effects of eddy currents, materials with low electrical conductivity or laminated structures are used.
Mutual Inductance in Inductive Circuits
Mutual inductance occurs when two or more inductors share magnetic fields and influence each other.
Mutual inductance can be represented by the formula M = k √(L₁ L₂).
Where M is the mutual inductance, L₁ and L₂ are the self-inductances of the individual inductors, and k is the coupling coefficient.
Mutual inductance is an important concept in transformers and other devices with multiple inductors.

The formula for inductive reactance is: XL = 2πfL, where f is the frequency of the AC signal and L is the inductance.
As the frequency of the AC signal increases, the inductive reactance also increases.
Inductive reactance is directly proportional to the inductance and the frequency of the AC signal.
Slide 22: Impedance in AC Circuits
Impedance (Z) is the total opposition to an AC current flow in a circuit.
Impedance consists of both resistance (R) and reactance (XL and XC for inductive and capacitive reactances, respectively).
