Troy is observing two series connected loads each having a 100 ohms impedance. Troy knows that if he wants the total impedance, he will just add their respective phasor values to get also the phasor value of the total impedance. However, when measured by the impedometer, the total impedance is amazingly 100 ohms also at a lagging power factor. If the first load has a power factor of 0.8660 leading, determine the A) resistance value and B) reactance of the total impedance.

that if he wants the total impedance, he will just add their respective phasor values to get also
the phasor value of the total impedance. However, when measured by the impedometer, the
total impedance is amazingly 100 ohms also at a lagging power factor. If the first load has a
power factor of 0.8660 leading, determine the A) resistance value and B) reactance of the total
impedance.
