Question
When a $4.0-\mu \mathrm{F}$ capacitor is connected to a generator whose rms output is 30. V, the current in the circuit is observed to be 0.30 A. What is the frequency of the source?
Step 1
We can do this by using the formula V_max = √2 * V_rms, where V_rms is the root mean square of the voltage. In this case, V_rms is given as 30 V. So, we have: \[ V_{max} = \sqrt{2} * 30 \] This gives us V_max = 42.43 V. Show more…
