A capacitor branch having a ratio of xC to RC of 5 ohms is paralleled with an impedance consisting of a 4 ohms resistance and a 3 ohms inductive reactance. The power factor of the resulting current is 0.8 leading. Find the capacitive reactance and the size of the capacitor if micro-farad if the frequency is 60 Hz. Also, find the total impedance of the circuit
