An emf `E=100 sin 314 t V` is applied across a pure capacitor of `637(mu)F`. Find
(a) the instantaneous current I
(b) the instantaneous power p.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given `E=100 sin (314 t)`
we have `omega=314 implies 2 (pi)f=100 pi implies f=50Hz`
Capacitive reactance:
`(X_c)=(1)/(omega C)=(1)/(314xx637xx10^(-6))=5 Omega`
since there is pure capacitor in the circuit, so current leads emf by `(phi)=(pi)//2`
`i-i_(0) sin (omega t + phi0=i_(0) sin [ 314t+(pi)//(2)]`
`=(E_0)/(X_C) cos (314 t)=100/5 cos (314 t)=20 cos (314 t)`
(b) Instantaneous power is given by
`p=EI=100 sin (314 t) xx20 cos (314 t)=1000 sin (628 t)`.
