The problem clearly states that the voltage drop on R is 7.072 V via the Voltmeter reading which means current flowing through the resistor would be 7.072mA and since it is a SERIES circuit current is the same for the resistor and capacitor, therefore, the VC = (7.072mA)(15.92ohms) = 112.6mV, 111mV is the closest.

Considering the given R=1K, C=1uF, V1=10V/10Khz, and all is RMS voltage, the current is:

i=V1/Z which is 10/sqrt(1000^2+15,9^2) = 9,99 mA and not 7,072 mA

Therefor Uc=9,99E-3*15,91=0,159 V or 159 mV

i=7.072/1000=.007072A

Xc=1/2PiFC=1/2*3.14*10*10^3*10^-6=15.9 ohm

Voltage across capacitor =I*Xc=.007072*15.9=.112V

So Approximately =111 mV.

How can you have a positive and negative on an AC voltage?

Is the voltmeter reading AC?

Please, anyone, explain to me.

How about?

vsuppy2=vcapacitor2+vresistor2

So v capacitor is also equal to around 7 volt.

I agree with @Leo, but what about the formula Vt = sqrt((Vr*Vr)+(Vc*Vc))??

Ninzkie said:   1 decade ago
Yes what about this relation?

10(squared) = Vr(squared) + Vc(squared)?

I need the explanation to this problem.

vrms=10/1.414 VR1+VC1=VRMS
