Question 5 Explanation:

The frequency at which the load is resistive and it is equal to 0.5\Omega i.e. The load is resistive means, the imaginary part of load is equal to zero and real part is equal to 0.5\Omega.
Z_{load}=\frac{1 \times \frac{1}{Cs}}{1 + \frac{1}{Cs}}+Ls
\;\;=\frac{1}{1+Cs}+Ls
\;\; =\frac{(1-Cs)}{1-C^2s^2}+Ls
Put, s=j\omega;
Z_{load}=\frac{1-j\omega C}{1+C^2\omega ^2}+j\omega L
\;\;\;=\frac{1}{1+C^2\omega ^2}+j\omega \left ( L-\frac{C}{(1+C^2\omega ^2)} \right )
Real part of the
Z_{load}=\frac{1}{1+C^2\omega ^2}=0.5
Putting, \omega =100 r/s
we get, C=10mF
