Practice question

**AC through capacitor** voltage lags current by 90°, Q= C V, I= dQ/dt = C dV/dt, V(t)=V_peak sin ωt, I(t)=I_peak sin(ωt+90°), average power zero because energy stored in electric field ½ C V² returned each cycle, capacitor blocks DC but passes AC, X_C decreases with f. RMS current: I = (V/R) = (130/65) = 2 A . Average power: P = I² R = 2² × 65 = 260 W . 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 260 W, consistent with phasor analysis and resonance condition X_L = X_C.
