Question

An AC source operating at 60 Hz with a maximum voltage of173 V isconnected in series with aresistor (R = 1.5 kΩ) andacapacitor (C = 2.5 µF).

(a) What is the maximum value of the currentinthe circuit?
A

(b) What are the maximum values of the potential differenceacrossthe resistor and the capacitor?
ΔV_R,max = V
ΔV_C,max = V

(c) When the current is zero, what are the magnitudes ofthepotential difference across the resistor, the capacitor, and theACsource?
ΔV_R = V
ΔV_C = V
ΔV_source = V
How much charge is on the capacitor at this instant?
Δq_c = µC

(d) When the current is at a maximum, what are the magnitudes ofthepotential differences across the resistor, the capacitor, andthe ACsource?
ΔV_R = V
ΔV_C = V
ΔV_source = V
How much charge is on the capacitor at this instant?
Δq_c = µC
