Explanation

**Peak current** I_peak = V_peak/R for resistor, I_rms = V_rms/R, V_peak = √2 V_rms, for 200 V rms, V_peak=282.8 V, I_peak=282.8/80=3.535 A, rms I=200/80=2.5 A, average over complete cycle zero because positive and negative halves cancel. X_L = ω L , ω = 2π f . f = 50 Hz , L = 100 × 10⁻³ H . ω = 2 × 3.14 × 50 = 314 rad/s . X_L = 314 × 0.1 = 31.4 Ω . Applying X_L = ωL, X_C = 1/ωC, Z = √(R² + (X_L - X_C)²), I_rms = V_rms/Z, P = V_rms I_rms cosφ, V_s/V_p = N_s/N_p, calculation gives
