Three capacitors having capacitance values of 20F,40F, and 50F are connected in parallel to a 60 - Hz power line. An ammeter indicates a circuit current of 8.6 amperes. How much current is flowing through the 40F capacitor?
You find that a 25-F capacitor connected to 480 VAC is defective. The storeroom has no capacitors with a 480-VAC rating. However, you find two capacitors rated at 50 F and 370 VAC. Can these two capacitors be connected in such a manner that they can replace the defective capacitor? If yes, explain how they are connected and why the capacitors will not be damaged by the lower voltage rating. If no, explain why they cannot be used without damaging the capacitor.
