  3. C \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{0.55} A\)
  4. D \(0.55 \mathrm{~A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{0.55}{\sqrt{2}} A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Power source \(V=220 \sin 50 t\)
\(\therefore\) Peak voltage \(V_0=220\) volt
So, rms voltage \(\quad V_{\mathrm{rms}}=\frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{220}{\sqrt{2}}\) volt
Also \(\omega=50\)
\(\therefore\) capacitive reactance \(X_C=\frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{1}{50 \times 50 \times 10^{-6}}=400 \Omega\)
value of rmscurrent \(I_{r m s}=\frac{V_{r m s}}{X_C}=\frac{220}{\sqrt{2} \times 400}=\frac{0.55}{\sqrt{2}}\) ampere
