Problem

A resistor of 200Ω200 \Omega and a capacitor of 15.0μF15.0 \mu\text{F} are connected in series to a 220 V220 \text{ V}, 50 Hz50 \text{ Hz} ac source. a. Calculate the current in the circuit. b. Calculate the voltage (rms) across the resistor and the capacitor. Is the algebraic sum of these voltages more than the source voltage? If yes, resolve the paradox.
