In a circuit,a metal filament lamp is connected in series with a capacitor of capacitance $C \mu F$ across a $200 V, 50 Hz$ 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 the supply voltage is $\varphi$.
