Question

A 40 μF capacitor is connected to a 200 V , 50 Hz AC supply. The rms value of the current in the circuit is, nearly:, 2.05 A, 2.5 A, 25.1 A, 1.7 A

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Current flowing through the capacitor is given by, I rms = V X C = V 1 / C ω = V C ω ⇒ I rms = 200 × 40 × 10 − 6 × 2 π × 50 ⇒ I rms = 2.5 A
