Question
**Title:** Calculating Reactive Power in AC Circuits

**Description:**
In the given circuit diagram, we aim to determine the reactive power \( Q \) consumed by the \( 1 + j5 \, \Omega \) load impedance. The problem assumes the current source is in RMS (Root Mean Square) value. The key components and their configurations in the circuit are described below:

**Circuit Components:**
1. **Current Source (\( I_s \)):**
   - \( I_s = 3 \angle 0^\circ \, \text{A} \)

2. **Resistors and Reactances in Parallel:**
   - A \( 2 \, \Omega \) resistor is connected in series with a \( -j1 \, \Omega \) reactance.
   - Another resistor of \( 1 \, \Omega \) is connected to this network, forming the first branch.

3. **Impedance in Parallel:**
   - A load impedance represented by \( 1 + j5 \, \Omega \) is connected in parallel to the aforementioned branch.

**Objective:**
To calculate the reactive power \( Q \) consumed by the complex load \( 1 + j5 \, \Omega \).

**Solution Approach:**
- Use concepts of impedance, apparent power, and the relation between current, voltage, and reactive power in AC circuits.
- Reactive power \( Q \) is calculated using the formula: 

\[ Q = V^2 / |Z| \times \sin(\theta) \]

where:
- \( V \) is the voltage across the load,
- \( |Z| \) is the magnitude of the impedance, and
- \( \theta \) is the phase angle of the impedance.
