Extracted text: An electrical load has an apparent power of 8000 VA with a power factor of 0.6 lagging. The load is connected to a voltage source having values v,(t) = 240/7 cos377t (Volt). The power correction capacity C is added in parallel with the load. The capacitor value C is chosen so that the modified power factor seen by the source will become unity (one). 1.1 Calculate the capacitor value C that must be chosen, so that the modified power factor seen by the source will become unity. 1.2 Find the RMS current supplied by the voltage source when unity power factor correction is applied.
