Explanation / Answer

3)a)RMS current in the circuit = RMS voltage/Resistance

=120/30

= 4A

b)Ztotal = (R^2 + (wL)^2)^0.5

=(30^2 + (2*pi*60*50*10^-3)^2)^0.5

=35.43 ohm

Current in the circuit = V/Z

=130/35.43

=3.669 A

so, power consumed by the load = I^2*R

=3.669^2*30

=403.847 W

Power factor = R/Z

=30/35.43

=0.8467

c)Zcl = 0

or wL = 1/wC

or C = 1/(w^2*L)

=1/((2*pi*60)^2*0.05)

=1.4*10^-4 F

d)let the reduced voltage be V.so,

V^2/30 = 403.847

or V=110.07 V

so it can be reduced by 9.3 V
