Network Elements and the Concept of Circuit

  1. R and C are connected in parallel across a sinusoidal voltage source of 240 V. If the currents through the source and the capacitor are 5A and 4A, respectively; what is the value of R?
    1. 24Ω
    2. 48Ω
    3. 80Ω
    4. 240Ω
Correct Option: C

Given R and C are connected in parallel across a sinusoidal voltage source of 240V.

IR = √Is2 − IC2
IR = √(5)2 − (4)2 = 3A

R =

=
240
= 80 Ω
