A capacitor, a resistor and a 40 mH inductor are connected in series to an a.c. source of frequency 60 Hz. Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor,if current is in phase with the voltage.

Answer» If the current is in phase with the voltage, `V_(L)=V_(C)`
`rArr X_(L)=X_(C)`
`rArr f_(0) = (1)/(2pi sqrt(LC))=f`
` 4 pi^(2) f^(2)LC = 1`
`rArr C = (1)/( 4 pi^(2) f^(2) xx L)=(1)/(4xx(3.14)^(2)xx60xx60xx40x10^(-3))=175.7 mu F`
