Question 483: AC fundamentals

Question

In the ac circuit an alternating voltage e = $$200\sqrt 2 $$sin100t volts is connected to a capacitor of capacity 1 $$\mu $$F.  The r.m.s. value of the current in the circuit is

Accepted Answer

e
0
= $$200\sqrt 2 $$ V, $$\omega $$ = 100 rad s
-1
The capacitive reactance is
X
C
= $${1 \over {\omega C}} = {1 \over {100 	imes 1 	imes {{10}^{ - 6}}}}$$
The r.m.s. value of the current in the circuit is
i
r.m.s
= $${{{V_{rms}}} \over {{X_C}}} = {{{{{e_0}} \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \over {{1 \over {\omega C}}}}$$
= $${{{{200\sqrt 2 } \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \over {{1 \over {100 	imes {{10}^{ - 6}}}}}}$$
= 200 ÃÂ 100 ÃÂ 10
Ã¢ÂÂ6
A = 2 ÃÂ 10
Ã¢ÂÂ2
A = 20 mA
