A group of a small appliances on a 60Hz system requires 20kVA at 0.85 pf lagging when operated at 125 V(rms). The impedance of the feeder supplying the appliances is 0.01 + j0.080. The voltage at the load end of the feeder is 125 V(rms). a) What is the rms magnitude of the voltage at the source end of the feeder? b) What is the average power loss in the feeder? c) What is the capacitor ( in microfarads) across the load end of the feeder is needed to improve the load power factor to unity?

PLEASE WRITE THE WAY AND THE STEPS OF THE SOLUTION , THANK YOU . 

A group of a small appliances on a 60Hz system requires 20kVA at 0.85 pf lagging when
operated at 125 V(rms). The impedance of the feeder supplying the appliances is 0.01 + j0.080.
The voltage at the load end of the feeder is 125 V(rms).
a) What is the rms magnitude of the voltage at the source end of the feeder?
b) What is the average power loss in the feeder?
c) What is the capacitor ( in microfarads) across the load end of the feeder is needed to improve
the load power factor to unity?
