1.3 A single-phase AC generator feeds a load. The generator may be modeled as an ideal sinusoidal voltage source (Ef volts) in series with an ideal inductance (X 2 ohms) and a small winding resistance (Ra=0.5 ohms). The load draws a current of (IL = 10 amps) with a power factor of 80% lagging at a fixed load voltage (VL 240 volts). The voltages and current just mentioned are all in their rms values.
