A source supplies power to the following three loads connected in parallel: (1) a lighting load drawing 10 kW . (2) an induction motor drawing 10 kVA at 0.90 power factor lagging, and (3) a synchronous motor operating at 10 hp , 85 % effIciency and 0.95 power factor leading ( 1 hp = 0 .746 kW ) . Determine the real, reactive, and apparent power delivered by the source. Also, draw the source power triangle.

3- Please I want answer of this Electrical Principles question. Thanks
3. A 12020⁰ Vrms is to supply power to a welder, heater and an induction motor. A welder is a
coil of (4+j3) ohm, the induction motor draws 60KW with 0.8 power factor, and the heater is a
resistor that draws 15KW power. Find the complex power, real power, reactive power and the
total power factor that must be supplied by source.
If a capacitor will be used to supply a reactive power in the circuit in order that the net load will
have a unity power factor, what reactive power must be supplied by the capacitor? Draw the
circuit.
If there is reactive power associated with a circuit element we can say
a) That said element is purely resistive.
b) That said element has a unitary power factor
c) That said element has associated electric or magnetic fields
d) None of the above
