Answer

(a) $f = 50~Hz$ (b) $C = 4.77~\mu F$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the emf frequency $f$: $f = \frac{1}{period}$ $f = \frac{1}{0.02~s}$ $f = 50~Hz$ (b) We can write an expression for the capacitance: $I_0 = \omega ~C~\epsilon_0$ $I_0 = 2\pi~f ~C~\epsilon_0$ $C = \frac{I_0}{2\pi~f ~\epsilon_0}$ We can find the capacitance: $C = \frac{I_0}{2\pi~f ~\epsilon_0}$ $C = \frac{15\times 10^{-3}~A}{(2\pi)~(50~Hz) ~(10~V)}$ $C = 4.77\times 10^{-6}~F$ $C = 4.77~\mu F$
