    What is the maximum current in the circuit?
    (b) What is the time lag between the current maximum and the voltage maximum?
    Ans : Frequency of oscillations, ν= 60 Hz

    Angular frequency,

    For a RC circuit, we have the relation for impedance as:



    Peak voltage, V0 =

    Maximum current is given as:






    (b) In a capacitor circuit, the voltage lags behind the current by a phase angle ofΦ. This angle is given by the relation:



    Hence, the time lag between maximum current and maximum voltage is 1.55 ms.
