Homework Statement
An AC power supply with a peak volatge output of 200 volts, operating at 60 Hz, is connected to a 53 microFurad capacitor
A) what is the difference in phase angle between the applied voltage and the current
B) what is the rms current in the circuit
C) what is the rate of energy dissipated to heat in the capacitor
Homework Equations
Several,
The Attempt at a Solution
I really just need an explanation of phase angle and what RMS is. The other stuff I have equations for and seems pretty straight forward.
Any information or links about phase angle and its use/purpose/definition would be greatly appreciated.
