system of a small factory. An engineer working at the plant is required ,.-

large part of every day and draws 10 A from the supply. A power
saving device is proposed to increase the efficiency of the motor. The
device was placed in parallel with the unloaded motor, and the current
drawn from the supply drops to 8 A. When two of the devices are
placed in parallel, the current drops to 6 A. What component in the
