Applying symmetry to an asymmetrical circuit

In summary, the problem asks to determine the potential difference in ZL and the value of ZL when the potential in L2 is 0. ...the problem can be solved with Kirchhoff's laws.

A full bore nodal analysis could also be done. Pick a frequency and evaluate the expresion for ZL and get the impedance of a capacitor. It also just so happens that value of ZL = infinity is a solution.
This all assumes the the voltage V1 is 1 volt RMS.

The very last line above should say that the ZL port voltage equals -V1.
