Question

If a series RC circuit is operating at 100 VAC and has an impedance of 52.5 ohms, what is the circuit current

Answer 1

1.9 Amps

Explanation:

In an RC circuit, the relationship between the current I in amps, the impedance Z in ohms and the voltage V in volts may be stated as

V = IZ

As such, given that z = 52.5 ohms and V = 100 Volts, the current in the circuit I may be computed as

100 = I * 52.5

Divide both sides by 52.5

I = 100/52.5

= 1.9 Amps
