A resistor of resistance \( 30 \, \Omega \) and a capacitor of capacitance \( (250 \pi^{-1}) \, \mu\text{F} \) are connected in series to a 220 V, 50 Hz source. The current in the circuit is

  1. A 7.3 A
  2. B 5.5 A
  3. C 4.4 A
  4. D 4.0 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 4.4 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( X_C = \frac{1}{2 \pi f C} = \frac{1}{2 \pi (50) (250 \pi^{-1} \times 10^{-6})} = 40 \, \Omega \) \( Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_C^2} = \sqrt{(30)^2 + (40)^2} = 50 \, \Omega \) \( I = \frac{V}{Z} = \frac{220}{50} = 4.4 \, \text{A} \)
