and (b) 3.5 m sec after its positive maximum value. At what time after the positve
maximum will the instantaneous value of current be 10.507 A.

1.2 kVAR leading. Determine the overall p.f. of the system and the capacitance of the
capacitor which, if connected across the mains would restore the power facor to unity.
