A \( 20 \, \mu\text{F} \) capacitor is connected to a \( 220 \, \text{V} \), \( 50 \, \text{Hz} \) AC supply. What is th
**Inductive reactance** X_L = ω L =2π f L (Ω), L inductance (H), f frequency (Hz), ω=2πf angular frequency (rad/s), opposes AC, impedance Z = X_L for pure L, current lags voltage by 90°, I_rms = V_rms/X_L, I_peak = V_peak/X_L. For 85 mH, 50 Hz, X_L=2π×50×0.085=26.7 Ω, V_rms=230 V, I_rms=8.61 A, I_peak=12.18 A. X_C = (1/ω C) , ω = 2π × 50 = 314 rad/s . C = 20 × 10⁻⁶ F . X_C = (1/314 × 20 × 10⁻⁶) ≈ 159.2 Ω . RMS current: I = (V/X_C) = (220/159.2) ≈ 1.38 A . Applying X_L = ωL, X_C = 1/ωC, Z =
