@Lex,

CURRENT should be in mA to come up with the answer of 9.8mA.

Please let me explain the formula.

It's 0.785 mA. So mW, not kW.

P = iv cos (θ).
θ= tan(inverse)xc\R.

If you're going to use V^2/Xc, you must first find the voltage in the capacitor since the circuit is in series.

So it is more reliable to use I^2 * Xc in the given.

9812.4 Watts is not 9.8mW. It should be kW.

VAR or Watts?

The same is calculated by formula, Pr=v*v/Xc.

To find reactive power Pr = I^2*Xc.
Where Xc = 1/wc, w = 2pif.

XC = 1/2*PI*fc.
= 1/6.28*10000*0.001*E-6.
= 15923.5 ohms.

Pr = I^2*Xc.
= 0.785^2*15923.5.
= 9812.4W.
= 9.8mW.

The formula being used here is Power =I^2 * Xc
= (0.785mA)^2 * (1/WC)
= (0.785 mA)^2 * (1/ (2*3.14 *Freq * Capacitance)
=9.8 mWatts
