A capacitor which has an internal resistance of 10Ω
and a capacitance value of 100uF is connected to a
supply voltage given as V(t) = 100 sin (314t).
Calculate the peak current flowing into the
capacitor. Also construct a voltage triangle
showing the individual voltage drops.

The capacitive reactance and circuit impedance is calculated as:

Then the current flowing into the capacitor and the circuit is given as:

Then the individual voltage drops around the circuit are calculated as:

For the resultant voltage:
