Alternating Current

Question:

The peak voltage through a capacitive circuit is of 25 V. Calculate the current in the circuit if the capacitance is 15 microfarads and the voltage changes 50 times in a second.

Options:

2.6 A

1.7 x 103 A

2.6 x 103 A

1.7 A

Correct Answer:

2.6 x 103 A

Explanation:

v = 50/sec

w = 2πv = 2 x π x 50 = 630 rad/sec

C = 15 microfarads = 15 x 10-6 F

V = 25 V 

I = 25/[630 rad/sec x 15 x 10-6 F] = 2.6 x 103 A
