1. The capacitor has been added to the load in the circuit in Fig.

1 to maximize the
power absorbed by the 4000 resistor. What value of capacitance should be
used to accomplish that objective?

Fig. 1

Solution
The source impedance

Z S=800+ j5000 0.32=( 800+ j1600 ) =1788.8563.4 0


The load impedance
