To attain a long time constant, do we need large or small values for R? For C?arrow_forwardAssuming that a nonzero ac voltage source is applied, what can you say about whether the power and reactive power are positive, negative, or zero for a pure capacitance in series with a pure inductance? Consider cases in which the impedance magnitude of the capacitance is greater than, equal to, or less than the impedance magnitude of the inductance.

Show that the voltage across the capacitance can be slightly larger than the source voltage U. (This is called the Ferranti effect and means that we can get a voltage rise beyond overhead lines with small loads. This is mostly relevant at the highest voltage levels.
