    This document contains the solution to a physics problem involving calculating the peak current, voltage, and current at a given time for a capacitor connected to an alternating voltage source. (1) The peak current was found to be 9.95 mA using the capacitive reactance and Ohm's law. (2) The voltage at 6.5 ms was calculated to be 14.0 V using the voltage function. (3) The current at 6.5 ms was calculated to be -7.67 mA using the current function, which leads the voltage by π/2.

    Problem 41

    Given C = 1.2 F v = Vp sin(2f t) VP = 22 V f = 60 Hz Solution a) Find the peak current. First nd the angular frequency. = 2f = 2(60 Hz) = 120 rad/s The capacitive reactance is XC = 1 1 = C (120 rad/s)(1.2 106 F )

    XC = 2210 Now with the capacitor attached to the power supply the peak current can be found through Ohms law and replacing the resistance with the capacitive reactance. IP = VP 22 V = XC 2210

    IP = 0.00995 A = 9.95 mA b) Find the voltage at t = 6.5 ms. Substituting the time into the voltage function gives v = VP sin(2f t) v = (22 V ) sin(2(60 Hz)(6.5 103 s)) Remember to use the radians mode for this calculation. v(6.5 ms) = 14.0 V c) Find the current at t = 6.5 ms.

    Problem from Essential University Physics, Wolfson

    The current function will lead the voltage function by /2 and, therefore, the function will be i = IP sin(2f t + /2) Substituting the time into the current function gives i = (9.95 mA) sin(2(60 Hz)(6.5 103 s) + /2) Remember to use the radians mode for this calculation. i(6.5 ms) = 7.67 mA The magnitude is then 7.67 mA.
