Q2. A coil of resistance R and inductance L is connected to a 50 Hz supply and draws a current at a power factor of 0.8 lag. If a capacitor of 100 μF is now connected in series with the coil the circuit draws the same current but at a power factor of0.8 lead. Calculate EACH of the following:

(a) The inductance of the coil;

(b) The resistance of the coil.

If the voltage measured across the capacitor is 36 V, determine EACH of the following:

(c) The current in the circuit;

(d) The supply voltage.
