    Increase power consumption with a capacitor

    The answer happens to be 431 micoF. Anyone know how that was solved? z=(Rc^2+Xc^2)^1/2 ? omega=2(3.14)60 ?

    Increase power consumption with a capacitor

    Yeah. That is exactly how the question is worded. There isn't a diagram so I assume it is in series. I think the question asks what would a capicitance on a capacitor be if it were to increase the energy dissipation to 1680W.

    Increase power consumption with a capacitor

    Homework Statement A motor attached to a 120 V/60 Hz power line draws an 7.60 A current. Its average energy dissipation is 840 W. How much series capacitance needs to be added to increase the power factor to 1.0? (in micro F) Homework Equations Don't know which to use at all. The...
