a) The complex power delivered to the (1 + j 2) Ω impedance is

S_{1} = \frac{1}{2}\pmb{V}_{1}\pmb{I}^{*}_{1}= P_{1} + jQ_{1}

 

=\frac{1}{2}\left(78 – j104\right)\left(-26 + j52\right)

 

=\frac{1}{2}(3380 + j6760)

 

= 1690 + j 3380 VA.

Thus this impedance is absorbing an average power of 1690 W and a reactive power of 3380 VAR. The complex power delivered to the (12 – j16) Ω impedance is

S_{2} = \frac{1}{2}\pmb{V}_{2}\pmb{I}^{*}_{x}= P_{2} + jQ_{2}

 

=\frac{1}{2}\left(72 + j104\right)\left(-2 – j6\right)

 

=240 – j 320 VA.

Therefore the impedance in the vertical branch is absorbing 240 W and delivering 320 VAR. The complex power delivered to the (1 + j 3)Ω impedance is

S_{3} = \frac{1}{2}\pmb{V}_{3}\pmb{I}^{*}_{2}= P_{3} + jQ_{3}

 

=\frac{1}{2}\left(150 – j130\right)\left(-24 + j58\right)

 

= 1970 + j5910 VA.

This impedance is absorbing 1970 W and 5910 VAR.

b) The complex power associated with the independent voltage source is

S_{s} = -\frac{1}{2}\pmb{V}_{s}\pmb{I}^{*}_{1}= P_{s} + jQ_{s}

 

=-\frac{1}{2}\left(150 \right)\left(-26+ j52\right)

 

= 1950 + j3900 VA.

Note that the independent voltage source is absorbing an average power of 1950 W and delivering 3900 VAR. The complex power associated with the current-controlled voltage source is

S_{x} = \frac{1} {2}\left(39\pmb{I}_{x}\right)\left(\pmb{I}^{*}_{2}\right)= P_{x} + jQ_{x}

 

=\frac{1}{2}\left(-78 + j 234\right)\left(-24 + j58\right)

 

= -5850 – j5070 VA.

Both average power and magnetizing reactive power are being delivered by the dependent source.

c) The total power absorbed by the passive impedances and the independent voltage source is

P_{absorbed} = P_{1} + P_{2} + P_{3} + P_{s} = 5850 W.

The dependent voltage source is the only circuit element delivering average power. Thus

P_{delivered} = 5850 W.

Magnetizing reactive power is being absorbed by the two horizontal branches. Thus

Q_{absorbed} = Q_{1} + Q_{3} = 9290 VAR.

Magnetizing reactive power is being delivered by the independent voltage source, the capacitor in the vertical impedance branch, and the dependent voltage source. Therefore

Q_{delivered} = 9290 VAR.
