(a) To find the impedance of the circuit, we first calculate $X_{ L }$ and $X_{ C }$. $ \begin{array}{c} X_L=2 \pi v L \\ =2 \times 3.14 \times 50 \times 25.48 \times 10^{-3} \Omega=8 \Omega \\ X_C=\frac{1}{2 \pi v C} \\ =\frac{1}{2 \times 3.14 \times 50 \times 796 \times 10^{-6}}=4 \Omega \end{array} $
(b) Phase difference, $\phi=\tan ^{-1} \frac{X_C-X_L}{R}$ $ =\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{4-8}{3}\right)=-53.1^{\circ} $ Since $\phi$ is negative, the current in the circuit lags the voltage across the source.
(c) The power dissipated in the circuit is $ P=I^2 R $ Now, $I=\frac{i_m}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{283}{5}\right)=40 A$ Therefore, $P=(40 A )^2 \times 3 \Omega=4800 W$
(d) Power factor $=\cos \phi=\cos \left(-53.1^{\circ}\right)=0.6$
