Q.

A 10 μF capacitor is connected to a 210 V, 50 Hz source as shown in figure. The peak current in the circuit is nearly (π = 3.14)        [2024]

1 0.58 A  
2 0.93 A  
3 1.20 A  
4 0.35 A

Vrms=210 V,  f=50 Hz,  C=10 μF

XC=12πfC=12×3.14×50×10×10-6=318.47 Ω

Irms=VrmsXC=210318.47=0.6594 A

Peak current, I0=2Irms=1.414×0.6594=0.93 A
