n ac motor is connected to a 560v, 60hz line. The motor has a current draw at full load of 53A. A wattmeter indicates a true power of 18 700 W. Find the power factor of the motor and the amount of capacitance that should be connected in parallel with the motor to correct the power factor to 100% or unity.
