A 10muF capacitor is in series with a 50Omega resistance and the combination is connected to a 220 V, 50 Hz line. Calculate (i) the capacitive reactance, (ii) the impedance of the circuit and (iii) the current in the circuit.

Answer»

Solution :Here, `C=10muF=10xx10^(-6)=10^(-5)F`
`R=50ohm, E_("rms")=220V, v=50Hz`,
(i) Capacitive reactance,
`X_(C)=(1)/(omegaC)=(1)/(2pivC)=(1)/(2xx3.14xx50xx10^(-5))=318.5Omega`
(II) Impedance of CR circuit.
`Z_(CR)=sqrt(R^(2)+X_(C)^(2))=sqrt((50)^(2)+(318.5)^(2))=322.4Omega`
(iii) Current, `I_("rms")=(E_("rms"))/(Z_(CR))=(220)/(322.4)=0.68A`
