In a series RC circuit with an AC source R = 300Ω, C = 25 μF, ϵ0 = 50 V and v = 50/π Hz. Find the peak current and the average power dissipated in the circuit.
Given: Resistance (R) = 300Ω,
Capacitance (C) = 25 μF =,
Rms voltage (ϵ0) = 50 V and
Frequency (v) = 50/π Hz.
Then, Reactance will be
Now, Impedance (Z) will be
So, Peak current will be
And average power dissipated will be
