Factory X prepares two (2) inductive coils to be used in a drilling operation. It’s goal is to use these two (2) coils to be connected in series as one coil cannot stand to operate alone. The coils when connected across 240 V takes a current separately with values 2 A and 3 A, respectively. When a wattmeter was connected across each coil during the testing, it has indicated 160 W and 500 W, respectively. Calculate for the total power.
