Homework Statement
A resistor with resistance R and a capacitor with capacitance C are connected in series to an AC voltage source. The time-dependent voltage across the capacitor is given by V_c(t) = V_c_0 sin(wt).
A) What is the amplitude I_0 of the total current I(t) in the circuit?
B and C will be revealed after A, so I may return after I get A.
Homework Equations
i = I cos(wt)
Vc = I/(wt)
V=IR
The Attempt at a Solution
V_c(t) = I(t)*R = (V_c_0)sin(wt)
Icos(wt)=((V_c_0)sin(wt))/R
I=((V_c_0)/R)tan(wt)
