Answer:
The capacitance of the capacitor is 31.84 μF.
Explanation:
Given;
power rating of the bulb, P = 100 W
voltage rating of the bulb, Vr = 100 V
operating voltage of the bulb, V= 141.4 V
frequency of the AC = 50 Hz
P = IV = 100 W
V = 100 V
I =
Ic = 1 A
The voltage across the capacitor is given by;
[tex]V_c = \sqrt{V^2 - V_R^2} \\\\V_c = \sqrt{141.4^2 - 100^2} \\\\V_c =99.97 \ V[/tex]
[tex]V_c = I_cX_c\\\\V_c = I_C* \frac{1}{2\pi fC}\\\\ 99.97 = 1 * \frac{1}{2\pi *50 *C}\\\\ C=\frac{1}{2\pi *50*99.97}\\\\ C = 31.84*10^{-6} \ F\\\\C = 31.84 \ \mu F[/tex]
Therefore, the capacitance of the capacitor is 31.84 μF.
