Solution

To solve this problem, we need to find the voltage across the capacitor (Vc). We can use the formula for the voltage across a capacitor in a series RC circuit, which is given by:

Vc = V * (Xc / Z)

where:

  • V is the peak voltage of the AC source,
  • Xc is the capacitive reactance, and
  • Z is the impedance of the circuit.

First, we need to calculate Xc and Z.

  1. Calculate the capacitive reactance (Xc): Xc = 1 / (2 * π * f * C) where:
  • f is the frequency, and
  • C is the capacitance.

Substituting the given values: Xc = 1 / (2 * π * 6.00 Hz * 6.40×10^-5 F) ≈ 442.097 Ohms

  1. Calculate the impedance (Z): In a series RC circuit, the impedance is given by: Z = sqrt(R^2 + Xc^2) where R is the resistance.

Substituting the given values: Z = sqrt((194 Ω)^2 + (442.097 Ω)^2) ≈ 473.07 Ohms

  1. Now, we can calculate Vc: Vc = V * (Xc / Z) Substituting the given values: Vc = 8.10 V * (442.097 Ω / 473.07 Ω) ≈ 7.57 V

So, the voltage across the capacitor (Vc) is approximately 7.57 V.
