Correct Answer - A::B::D
(a) `0.5=R_1/Z_1`
Further, `P=V_("rms")i_("rms")cos phi`
or `100=230xx230/Z_1xx0.5`
`:.Z_1=264.5Omega`
and `R_1=132.25Omega`
Further `X_L=sqrt(Z_1^2-R_1^2)=sqrt3/2Z_1`
`=229Omega`
In second case `0.6=R_2/Z_2`
and `60=(230xx230)/Z_2xx0.6`
`:. Z_2=529Omega`
and `R_2=317.4Omega`
Further, `X_C=sqrt(Z_2^2-R_2^2)`
`=423.2Omega`
When connected in series,
`R=R_1+R_2=449.65Omega`
`X_C-X_L=194.2`
`:. Z=sqrt((449.65)^2+(194.2)^2)`
`=489.79Omega`
Power factor, `cosphi=R/Z=0.92` (leading)
`P=V_("rms")i_("rms")cosphi`
`=(230)(230/489.79)(0.92)`
`=99W`
(b) Since `X_C-X_L=194.C Omega`
Therefore, if `194.2Omega` inductive reactance is to be added in series, then it will become only `R` circuit and power factor will come unity.
