Problem

An AC source supplying voltage VS=(267 V)sin⁡(50 rad s−1)t, powers a series LCR circuit with components, L=220 mH, C=400 μF, and R=80 Ω.
What is the peak current, i0, in the circuit?
Note: Assume a pure inductor with negligible resistance.
i0=
  • Your answer should be
  • an integer, like 6
