## Capacitors in AC Circuits: Calculating Power

### Problem Statement:
The voltage across a 21-µF capacitor is given by the following function of time, \( v(t) = 200 \sin(500t) \) V.

Find the Power in Watts at time \( t = 9.5 \). (The angle is in radians)

### Given Voltage Function:
\[ v(t) = 200 \sin(500t) \]

### Capacitor Circuit Diagram:
The diagram shows:
- A capacitor, denoted by \( C \).
- The voltage across the capacitor \( v(t) \) with positive and negative terminals.
- The current through the capacitor \( i(t) \).

### Solution Steps:
To find the power, we need to calculate the instantaneous power using the formula:
\[ P(t) = v(t) \cdot i(t) \]

1. **Determine the current \( i(t) \) through the capacitor.**

   For a capacitor, the current \( i(t) \) is related to the voltage \( v(t) \) by:
   \[ i(t) = C \frac{d}{dt} v(t) \]

2. **Differentiate the voltage function to find \( i(t) \):**

   Given \( v(t) = 200 \sin(500t) \):

   \[ \frac{d}{dt} v(t) = 200 \cdot 500 \cos(500t) \]
   \[ i(t) = 21 \times 10^{-6} \cdot 100,000 \cos(500t) \]
   \[ i(t) = 2.1 \cos(500t) \]

3. **Substitute \( t = 9.5 \) into the expressions for \( v(t) \) and \( i(t) \):**

   \[ v(9.5) = 200 \sin(500 \cdot 9.5) \]
   \[ i(9.5) = 2.1 \cos(500 \cdot 9.5) \]

4. **Calculate \( P(9.5) \):**

   \[ P(9.5) = v(9.5) \cdot i(9.5) \]

### Final Calculation:
With the specific numeric time \( t = 9.
