Question
A capacitor is connected across the terminals of an ac generator that has a frequency of 310 Hz and supplies a voltage of 30 V. When a second capacitor is connected in parallel with the first one, the current from the generator increases by 0.24 A. Find the capacitance of the second capacitor. Note: The ac current and voltage are rms values and power is an average value unless indicated otherwise.
