In the circuit given below, the current through inductor is 0.9 ~A and through the capacitor is 0.6 ~A . The current drawn from the a.c. source is
Options
- A1.5 ~A
- B0.9 ~A
- C0.6 ~A
- D0.3 ~A
Correct answer
D. 0.3 ~A
Step-by-step solution
As the currents in an inductor and capacitor are out of phase by 180^ , we can write Current through the capacitor I _ C =0.9 ~A Current through the inductor I _ L =-(0.6 ~A ) aligned Total current drawn from the source & = I _ C + I _ L & =0.9-0.6 & =0.3 ~A aligned
