In the series RC circuit shown, a 232 V (rms) source with =5000 rad/s is connected to R=84, and C=2.5, F. Find the current drawn from the source.
- 2.76 A
- 1.41 A
- 2 A
- 4 A
Answer
C. 2 A
Solution
XC=1/ C= 1(5000)(2.5, F)=80, . |Z|=sqrt(R2+XC2)=sqrt((84, )2+(80, )2)=116, . I=V/|Z|= 232 V116, =2 A.
