Objective 5 : Two load Z1 = 100 + j0

and Z2 = 10 + j20

are connected across a 200 Volts

rms, 60 Hz source as shown in figure below

(a) Find total real and reactive power, the power factor at the source and total current using

Matlab.
(b) Find the capacitance of capacitor connected across the load to improve the overall power

factor.
