Question

20.0 Ω resistor and a 2.50 μF capacitor are connected in parallel with signal generator. The signal generator produces a sinusoidal voltage with an amplitude 3.00 V at a frequency of f=2.48e3 Hz What is the maximum current provided by the power supply?‘

Answer 1

Answer:

0.15A

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

R=20.0 Ω

C= 2.50 μF

V= 3.00 V

f= 2.48×10^-3 Hz

Xc= 1/2πFc

Xc= 1/2×3.142 × 2.48×10^-3 × 2.5 ×10^-6

Xc= 25666824.1

Z= 1/√(1/R)^2 +(1/Xc)^2

Z= 1/√[(1/20)^2 +(1/25666824.1)^2]

Z= 1/√(2.5×10^-3) + (1.5×10^-15)

Z= 20 Ω

But

V=IZ

Where;

V= voltage

I= current

Z= impedance

I= V/Z

I= 3.00/20

I= 0.15A
