unknown reactance ...how to solve?
a circuit with the unknown X (pure reactance) in sereis with a two parallel impedance.Z1= 4-j8 ; Z2= 1+j10 ...and total power factor is 0.707.. find the unknown reactance.
p.f. = Rtotal/Ztotal...
Z1= 8.94 angle of -63.43 degrees
Z2=10.05 angle of 84.29 degrees
i simplified the parallel Z1and Z2
Z12= 16.68 angle of -0.94 degrees..
or Z12= 16.68-j0.27
and i don't know how to continue...
