Exam Question

A coil of resistance 10Ω and inductance 0.1H is connected in series with a capacitor of capacitance 150µF, across a 200V, 50Hz supply. Calculate:

(a) The inductive reactance (3)

(b) The capacitive reactance (3)

(c) The circuit impedance (2)

(d) The circuit current (2)

(e) The circuit power factor (2)

(f) The voltage drop across the coil (2)

(g) The voltage drop across the capacitor (2)

Reference Answer

### RLC Circuit Analysis
This problem involves the analysis of a series RLC circuit. The key is to calculate the reactances of the inductive and capacitive components, determine the total circuit impedance, and then use this to find the current and power factor. Voltage drops across individual components are calculated using the circuit current and the impedance of those specific components.
**Given Data:**
- Resistance (R) = 10 Ω
