Question:medium

An alternating voltage \(e = 150\sqrt{2}sin100t\) volt is applied to a capacitor of capacity \(2 μ\text{F}\). The root mean square value of current in the circuit is

Show Hint

Find the capacitive reactance from omega and C, then divide the r.m.s. voltage by it.

  • \(300\) mA
  • \(150\) mA
  • \(30\) mA
  • \(15\) mA
Show Solution

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Peak Current First:
$I_0=\omega CV_0=100\times2\times10^{-6}\times150\sqrt2=0.03\sqrt2$ A.

Step 2: Convert:
$I_{rms}=\dfrac{I_0}{\sqrt2}=0.03$ A $=30$ mA.

Step 3: Answer:
Option (C).

Final Answer:
Option (C). \[ \boxed{\text{(C) } 30\ \text{mA}} \]
