Homework Statement


https://session.masteringphysics.com/problemAsset/1385140/3/36.P42.jpg
Circuit schematic with an AC source of emf 10 V at 200 Hz, a 3.0 μF capacitor in series, and a 4.0 μF capacitor and a 2.0 μF capacitor in parallel with each other.

Part A
What is the peak current supplied by the emf in the figure?
Part B
What is the peak voltage across the 4.0 μF capacitor?

Homework Equations


I = V/XC = E0/1/2πfC = 2πfCE0

The Attempt at a Solution


I got 25mA for part A, which is correct. I don't know how to do part B and my textbook is less than useful.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
