JEE Advanced 2021 — Paper 2 — Question 29

In the circuit, a metal filament lamp is connected in series with a capacitor of capacitance CμF\mathrm{C} \mu \mathrm{F} across a 200 V,50200 \mathrm{~V}, 50 Hz supply. The power consumed by the lamp is 500 W while the voltage drop across it is 100 V . Assume that there is no inductive load in the circuit. Take rms values of the voltages. The magnitude of the phase-angle (in degrees) between the current and supply voltage is ϕ\phi. Assume, π3≈5\pi \sqrt{3} \approx 5.

The value of C is   ⁣ ⁣  ⁣ ⁣ \text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ } .
