Homework Statement
A small industry operates from 220 volts supplied by a utility. The small
industry represents a load to the utility that represents 22,000 watts and a power factor of 0.8.Determine the value of a capacitor placed at main voltage panel to correct the circuit to unity power factor. The supply frequency is 60 Hz.
Homework Equations
cosø = 0.8
P=VIcosø
Xc = V/Ic
The Attempt at a Solution
I was able to get 80A as a value for I using P=VIcosø but it does not have an imaginary component which is what I need to solve the problem. Can someone please tell me how I am supposed to get the imaginary component?
