**Problem:**

A 41.1 Ω resistor, a 64.5 µF capacitor, and a 8.27 mH resistance-less coil are in series with an AC source (\(V_{\text{rms}} = 213 \, \text{V}, \, f = 89.4 \, \text{Hz}\)). Find the rms current, in A, in this circuit.

**Solution Explanation:**

To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the impedance of the series circuit, which includes a resistor, capacitor, and inductor.

1. **Reactance of the Capacitor (\(X_C\))**:
   \[
   X_C = \frac{1}{2\pi fC} 
   \]
   Where \(f = 89.4 \, \text{Hz}\) and \(C = 64.5 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{F}\).

2. **Reactance of the Inductor (\(X_L\))**:
   \[
   X_L = 2\pi fL
   \]
   Where \(L = 8.27 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{H}\).

3. **Impedance (\(Z\))**:
   The total impedance \(Z\) of the circuit is found using:
   \[
   Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2}
   \]
   Where \(R = 41.1 \, \Omega\).

4. **RMS Current (\(I_{\text{rms}}\))**:
   The rms current can be calculated using Ohm’s Law for AC circuits:
   \[
   I_{\text{rms}} = \frac{V_{\text{rms}}}{Z}
   \]

By substituting the appropriate values into these equations, you can find the impedance and then the rms current of the circuit.

Step 1

Vrms = 213 Vf = 89.4 HzR = 41.1  ohm Xc = 1/wc Xc = 1/(2π *89.4 * 64.5 *10-6)Xc =27.6 ohm XL = w L XL = 2 π *89.4 * 0.00827XL = 4.645 ohm 

 

Impedence (Z) :

Z = R2 +(Xc - XL)2Z = (41.1)2 +(27.6-4.645)2Z = 47.075 ohm
