Answer

a) $V_{max}=9.0V$ b) $V=-6.7V$ c) $V=6.7V$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $X_c=\frac{1}{\omega C}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $X_c=\frac{1}{2\pi(30.0)(22\mu F)}=60.29\Omega$ Now $V_{max}=X_cI_{rms}$ $V_{max}=60.29(0.15)$ $V_{max}=9.0V$ (b) We know that $I=I_{max}sin\theta$ $\theta=sin^{-1}\frac{I}{I_{max}}=sin^{-1}\frac{0.10}{0.15}=41.8^{\circ}$ Now $V=V_{max}sin(\theta -90^{\circ})$ $V=9.0sin(41.8^{\circ}-90^{\circ})=-6.7V$ (c) We know that $V=9.0sin(138-90)=6.7V$
