Problem

A coil of resistance 50 Ω50\,\Omega and inductance 0.20 H0.20\,\text{H} is connected in series to a 240 V (rms)240\,\text{V (rms)}, 50 Hz50\,\text{Hz} AC source. a. (i) Calculate the initial power factor of the coil. b. (ii) A capacitor is now added in series so that the current leads the voltage by 10∘10^{\circ}. Calculate the capacitance required to achieve this condition.
