The capacitor must be rated for at least 387.3 kVAR. With the
capacitor in place, we have:
(c) The line current is smaller by a factor of 4 with the capacitor in
2 losses in the line by a factor of 16.
P5.52* (a) Zeroing the current source, we have:
Thus, the Thévenin impedance is

Under open circuit conditions, there is zero voltage across the
inductance, the current flows through the resistance, and the Thévenin
