In an ac circuit, an alternating voltage e=200√2 sin 100t volt is connected to a capacitor of capacity 1 μF. The rms value of the current in the circuit is

Asked in NEET 2011 · Behaviour of R, L and C separately

Answer: (4) 20 mA

Step-by-step solution

From the equation, e₀=200√2 V and ω=100 rad s⁻¹, so

eᵣₘₛ=(200√2)/(√2)=200 V.

X_C=1/(ω C)=1/(100×1×10⁻⁶)=10⁴ Ω.

iᵣₘₛ=(eᵣₘₛ)/(X_C)=(200)/(10⁴)=2×10⁻² A=20 mA.
