The apparent power (S) in a parallel circuit is calculated using the formula S = V^2 / Z, where Z is the impedance. For a parallel circuit, Z can be found using the formula Z = 1 / sqrt((1/R)^2 + (1/XL)^2). Substituting the given values, Z is approximately 33.8 kΩ. Then, S = (208^2) / 33.8 kΩ = 1.41 VA.
