alternating current).
2. A light bulb is rated at 100W for a 220 V supply. Find (a) the resistance of the bulb; (b) the peak
voltage of the source; and (c) the rms current through the bulb.
3. A pure inductor of 25.0 mH is connected to a source of 220V. Find the inductive reactance and rms
current in the circuit if the frequency of the source is 50 Hz.

containing capacitance only.

current (rms and peak) in the circuit. If the frequency is doubled, what happens to the
capacitive reactance and the current?

ac source. (a) Calculate the current in the circuit; (b) Calculate the voltage (rms) across the
resistor and the capacitor. Is the algebraic sum of these voltages more than the source voltage?
