39. If two equal resistances connected in series across a certain supply are now connected in parallel across the same supply, the power produced will be _________ that of series connection

The following three impedances are connected in series across a 40 V, 20 kHz supply: a 
resistance of 8 Ω, a coil of inductance 130 μH and 5 Ω resistance, and a 10 Ω resistor in 
series with a 0.25 µF capacitor. Sketch a neat diagram representing this network, and 
calculate:
5.1.1 The inductive and capacitive reactance’s. (4)
5.1.2 The magnitude and phase angle of the circuit impedance. (4)
5.1.3 The voltage drops across resistance, inductance and capacitance.

A coil having an inductance of 6 H and an unknown resistance is connected in series with 
a resistor of 10 Ω to a 120 V dc supply. The time constant of the circuit is 300 ms. When 
steady state conditions have been reached, the supply is replaced instantaneously by a short-circuit. Determine the resistance of the coil, the current flowing in the circuit one second after the shorting link has been placed in the circuit, and the time taken for the current to fall to 10% of its initial value.
