Question:

Fluorescent light bulbs have significant impedance. Measurements on a compact fluorescent bulb with luminosity equivalent to a 40 W incandescent indicate that it consumes 9 W real power. Measurements of RMS current and voltage, however, indicated that it drew an apparent power of 14 VA. What is the bulb’s power factor? If the RMS voltage is 110 V, what is the bulb’s resistance? What is its inductance?
