Calculate Impedance, Power Factor & Type Of Power In RLC Circuit

[Hassss]

Good Evening 

No suprises to what im looking to investigate today. 

I have a initial circuit which contains a AC supply, Resistor and Inductor only, I must calculate the impedance, supply current, power factor & angle, and type of power that is consumed in the circuit. 

I must then create a modified circuit in which i must improve the power factor to 0.95 and specify the value of capacitance required!

I must then calculate the impedance, supply current, power factor & angle and the type of power consumed in the circuit. 

I have never really used multisim before, just want to make sure my calculations are correct as the values I have been given to work with are producing tedious amounts of impedance. My XL=24kOhm 

I have tried to use the impedometer but not quiet sure how to wire it correctly. Same goes for the watt meter not sure how to wire the terminals for V and I. 

Appreciate any help and advice I have provided some images of my initial circuit I have not specified the value of C as im not sure what it must be to give me a PF of 0.95. 

Regards 

Ps pardon the amatuer mistake forgot to add a ground (fool)

Those circuits are simple enough that you can readily calculate the values manually. So you should be able to check the results of your simulations against the analytic results.

XL = 2*pi*f*L = 75.4 kohm.

HI Lynn

That is correct, I have already manually calculated the results mathematically. I just need to provide simulation evidence that they are correct.

Thus I am asking how can I obtain these results from multisim components and instruments!

Appreciate your help

Hi Hass,

Here is an article on Calculating the Impedance in Multisim.

Similarly, you can add Expression to Calculate the Power Factor or other circuit parameters.

Hope this helps!
