Pure R, L and C Circuits

A 40 μ\muF capacitor is connected to a 200 V, 50 Hz ac supply. The rms value of the current in the circuit is, nearly:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. XC=12πfC=12π×50×40×10−6≈79.6 ΩX_C = \frac{1}{2\pi f C} = \frac{1}{2\pi \times 50 \times 40 \times 10^{-6}} \approx 79.6\ \Omega
  2. Irms=VrmsXC=20079.6≈2.5I_{rms} = \frac{V_{rms}}{X_C} = \frac{200}{79.6} \approx 2.5 A
  3. So the answer is (b) 2.5 A.
