Answer

$I = 0.170~A$

Work Step by Step

In part (b), we found that $f_d = 159~Hz$ We can find the impedance: $Z = \sqrt{R^2+(-X_C)^2}$ $Z = \sqrt{R^2+(-1/2\pi~f_d~C)^2}$ $Z = \sqrt{(50.0~\Omega)^2+[-1/(2\pi)~(159~Hz)~(20.0\times 10^{-6}~F)]^2}$ $Z = 70.7~\Omega$ We can find the current amplitude: $I = \frac{\mathscr{E}_m}{Z}$ $I = \frac{12.0~V}{70.7~\Omega}$ $I = 0.170~A$
