If, in one (360 degrees), all of the instantaneous power falls under positive loops (no negativeloops), the load must be:a. A resistorb. An inductor or capacitorExplain:

. Determine the capacitance value that, when placed in parallel with this load, would produce a unity power factor. Assume that the source is 230 V at 60 Hz. The Q shown is a positive Inductive reactive power, which would have to be “offset” by the same value of Reactive Capacitance Power.

can you doing this with detail explaination..thank you!
