Question

An AC source operating at 60 Hz with a maximum voltage of 173 V is connected in series with a resistor (R = 1.2 k?) and a capacitor (C = 2.5 µF).

(a) What is the maximum value of the current in the circuit?

(b) What are the maximum values of the potential difference across the resistor and the capacitor?
?V_R,max =

?V_C,max =

(c) When the current is zero, what are the magnitudes of the potential difference across the resistor, the capacitor, and the AC source?
?V_R =

?V_C =

?V_source =

How much charge is on the capacitor at this instant?
?q_c =

(d) When the current is at a maximum, what are the magnitudes of the potential differences across the resistor, the capacitor, and the AC source?
?V_R =

?V_C =

?V_source =

How much charge is on the capacitor at this instant?
?q_c =
