7.Alternating Current
medium
A $10 \mu \mathrm{F}$ capacitor is connected to a $210 \mathrm{~V}, 50 \mathrm{~Hz}$ source as shown in figure. The peak current in the circuit is nearly $(\pi=3.14)$ :

A
$0.93 \mathrm{~A}$
B
$1.20 \mathrm{~A}$
C
$0.35 \mathrm{~A}$
D
$0.58 \mathrm{~A}$
(NEET-2024)
Solution
$\text { Capacitive Reactance } X_C=\frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}=\frac{1}{2 \times 3.14 \times 50 \times 10 \times 10^{-6}}$
$=\frac{1000}{3.14}$
$V_{\mathrm{ms}}=210 \mathrm{~V}$
$i_{\mathrm{ms}}=\frac{V_{\mathrm{ms}}}{X_C}=\frac{210}{X_C}$
$\text { Peak current }=\sqrt{2} i_{\text {mms }}=\sqrt{2} \times \frac{210}{1000} \times 3.14=0.932$
$=0.93 \mathrm{~A}$
