Got my 203 on Friday & just need some help with some of these formula questions.

1: What is the power factor of a circuit with a capacitor connected in series, given the resistance is 6ohms and the capacitive reactance is 8ohms ?

a: 0.75ohms leading - My answer?

b: 0.75ohms lagging

c: 0.6ohms leading

d: 0.6ohms lagging

2: A capacitor of capacitive reactance 5ohms, an inductor of 8ohms inductive reactance and a resistor of 4ohms are connected in series to 230v 50hz supply. the total impedance of the circuit will be?

a: 50ohms - no idea how to work this one out.

b: 40ohms

c: 5ohms

d: 4ohms

3: What is the total impedance of a circuit with a 4ohms resistor and a 10mH inductor

a: 4ohms

b: 6ohms - Not sure how to work this one out :(

c: 5ohms

d: 7ohms

4: What is KVA of a load given that the true power is 100kW and the reactive power is 75KVAr

a: 150KVA

b: 200KVA

c: 175KVA

d: 125KVA - my answer but not sure the formula for it

anyone help on these questions would really be appreciated :)
