Answer

$i_C = -33.9~mA$

Work Step by Step

We can find $\omega_d~t$: $\mathscr{E} = \mathscr{E}_m~sin~\omega_d t$ $sin~\omega_d t = \frac{\mathscr{E}}{\mathscr{E}_m}$ $sin~\omega_d t = \frac{-12.5~V}{25.0~V}$ $sin~\omega_d t = -0.5$ $\omega_d t = \frac{7\pi}{6}, \frac{11\pi}{6}$ Since the emf is increasing in magnitude, $\omega_d t = \frac{7\pi}{6}$ In part (a), we found that the maximum value of the current is $~~39.1~mA$ We can find the current: $i_C = I_C~sin~(\omega_d t+\frac{\pi}{2})$ $i_C = (39.1~mA)~sin~(\frac{7\pi}{6}+\frac{\pi}{2})$ $i_C = (39.1~mA)~sin~(\frac{5\pi}{3})$ $i_C = -33.9~mA$
