A capacitor of capacitance 10 μF is connected to an oscillator giving an output voltage ϵ = (10V) sin ωt. Find the peak currents in the circuit for ω = 10 s–1, 100 s–1, 500 s–1, 1000 s–1.

Capacitance of the capacitor C=10 μF,


Output voltage of the oscillator ϵ = (10V) sin ωt.


On comparing the output voltage of the oscillator with



We get Peak voltage
