A capacitor of capacitance 150.0 μF is connected to an alternating source of emf given by E=36 sin120πt V. The maximum value of current in the circuit is approximately equal to:

  1. 2 A
  2. 2 A
  3. 22 A
  4. 12 A

Solution

The formula for maximum current is given by 

Imax=ωCVm   ...(i)

The given data is 

ω=120π

Vm=36 VC=150 μF

Substituting the values in equation (i)

Imax=120π×150×10-6×36

=2.036 A

2 A
