A 200V, 50 Hz sinusoidal supply is connected to a parallel network comprising three branches
A, B and C as follows: A, a coil of resistance 3 ohm and inductive reactance 4 ohm; B, a series
circuit of resistance 4 ohm and capacitive reactance 3 ohm; C, a capacitor. Given that the power
factor of the combined circuit us unity, find (a) the capacitance of the capacitor in
F; (b) the current taken from the supply. [Ans. 127.32 F, 56A]
