(a)(i) What is meant by the root-mean-square value of an alternating current? (ii) Define impedance of an alternating current circuit.
(b) An electrical device rated 120 V, 60 W is opened on a 240 V, 50Hz mains supply. The circuit has a capacitor connected in series with ihe electrical device and the supply. Calculate the capacitance of the capacitor. [π=3.142].
(c)(i) Define the capacitance of a capacitor.
(ii)

The circuit diagram above illustrates two capacitors of capacitance C\(_1\) and C\(_2\) connected in series across a 2V source.

In the ending parts
Xc = 1/wC = 1/2πfC
C = 1/2πfXc = 1/2π x 50 x 415.7 ===> 7.66 x 10–⁶C = 7.66μC
