Answer to Question #166131 in Electrical Engineering for Sankar

Question

Two impedances Z1 and Z2 are connected in parallel. The first branch takes a leading 

current of 16 A and has a resistance of 5 Ω, while the second branch takes a lagging 

current at 0.8pf. The applied voltage is 100+j200 V and the total power is 5 kW. Find 

branch impedances, total circuit impedance, branch currents and total circuit current.

Answer 1

Z_z = $8.6+j 6.45\omega$
