Physics

A circuit consists of an 92- resistor in series with a 5.9-?Fcapacitor, the two being connected between the terminals of an acgenerator. The voltage of the generator is fixed. At what frequencyis the current in the circuit one-half the value that exists whenthe frequency is very large? Note: The ac current and voltage arerms values and power is an average value unless indicatedotherwise

Z = R + (-j)/{?*C} = R + (-j)/{2*?*f*C}
     = (92)+ (-j)/{2*?*f*(5.9e-6)}
     = (92)-(j)*(26989)/{f}
here ( 1/(2*pi*5.9*10^-6))=26989)
Z = {(92)2 + (26989/f)2}(1/2)  

V = I*Z    ----->    I = V/Z     ----->   I2/I1 = Z1/Z2

When \"f\" is very large, impedance \"Z1\" approaches{Z1 = 120}. Thus:

I2/I1 = (1/2)     ----->   Z1/Z2 = (92)/{(92)2 + (26989/f)2}(1/2) = (1/2)

     ----->   {(92)2 + (26989/f)2}(1/2) = 184
     ----->   (92)2 + (26989/f)2 = 33856
     ----->    (26989/f)2 = 25392
     -----> 26989/f = 159.3
     ----->     f = 26989/159.3
     ----->    f = 169.4 Hz
