Is it a disadvantage for a generator to supply both resistive and reactive current to its load?

Suppose The power network 1 has a resistive load and therefore the current supplied by the generator 1 to the load is purely resistive. The power network 2 has a resistive + inductive load and ...

Given a load, how do you calculate whether it is capacitive or inductive?

If the impedance at the load has the form of \$Z = R + jX\$, where \$R\$ and \$X\$ are positive real numbers, then then network is called inductive. If \$Z = R - jX\$, then the network is called ...
