Find the value of the current flowing through a capacitance of 0.5 μF when connected to a source of 150 V at 50 Hz. (Ans: IrmsIrms = 0.024 A )



Data Given:

Voltage (rms) = VrmsVrms = 150 V

Capacitance = C = 0.5 μF = 0.5 × 10⁻⁶ F

Frequency = f = 50 Hz




To Find:

Root Mean Square current = IrmsIrms = ?



 

Solution:


The general formula for Root Mean Square current is 

IrmsIrms VrmsXCVrmsXC

Where XCXC =1C = 12πfC

Irms Vrms12πfC

or

Irms Vrms (2πfC)

putting values

Irms = 150 V (2 × 3.1416 ×  50 Hz × 0.5 × 10⁻⁶ F)

Irms = 150 V (157.08 × 10⁻⁶ F Hz)

Irms 23562 × 10⁻⁶ A

Irms = 0.023562 A

Irms = 0.024 A -------------Ans.
