Options:
  • A \( 10 \mathrm{~mA} \)
  • B \( 100 \mathrm{~mA} \)
  • C \( 200 \mathrm{~mA} \)
  • D \( 20 \mathrm{~mA} \)

The correct answer is: \( 20 \mathrm{~mA} \)

The given equation of alternating voltage is,
       e=2002 sin 100t  ...(i)
The standard equation of alternating voltage is,
      e=e0sinωt  ...(ii)
Comparing equations (i) and (ii), we get,
    e0=2002 Vω=100 rad s-1
The capacitive reactance is,
    XC=1ωC=1100×1×10-6 Ω
The rms value of current in the circuit is,
    irms=vrmsXC=e0/21/ωC=2002/21/100×10-6
             =200×100×10-6 A=2×10-2 A=20 mA
