Given: S=1500 VA
pf=0.866 lagging
Find reactive power.
We are given a value for complex power, which is a real number, and a value for the power factor, which is lagging. Since S=P+jQ, I would like to conclude that Q=0, but the existence of a power factor is throwing me off. Is it possible to have a lagging power factor and still have a purely real value for complex power? If so, how? Any help is greatly appreciated.
