How do you know whether it is leading or lagging in Power Factor?
I was told by my lecturer that if the sin θ is positive then it is lagging
And if it is sin θ is negative then it is leading
However, in this case, the answers that I got is all positive but it has a variation of leading and lagging.
I am confused.
Does he means that if the θ is positive then is is lagging and if it is negative then it is leading ?
I try to google up on this and this is what I get ...
But I practically do not understand a thing from the Mnemonics
From the Mnemonics
"ELI the ICE man" or "ELI on ICE" the voltage E leads the current I in an inductor L, the current leads the voltage in a capacitor C.
CIVIL in a Capacitor the I (current) leads Voltage, Voltage leads I (current) in an inductor L.
P/s: I have also upload the solution if you need more detail on the solutions.
