    a. 1.6π*10⁵rads/secs

    b. 90⁰

    c. 39.8ohms

    d. 0.04997μF

    e. 39.8ohms

    Explanation:

    a. From the question, the frequency is given as 80KHz. The angular frequency is expressed as

    W=2πf

    w=2*π*80000

    w=1.6π*10⁵rads/secs

    b. To determine the phase angle of the current, from general ohms law

    I=V/Y

    where Y is the capacitive reactance

    expressed as

    Y=1/wc.

    Also in an RC circuit the voltage lags the current

    Hence expressing in polar form,

    I=0.025wc< (0+90)

    I=0.025wc<90⁰

    The required phase angle is 90⁰

    c. from the equation above the magnitude is

    I=0.025wc,

    if we substitute the value of the current as 628.3μA and w=1.6π*10⁵rads/secs

    we have

    C = (628.3μ) / (0.025*1.6π*10⁵)

    C=0.04997μF

    The reactance is expressed as

    Y=1/wc

    Y=1 / (1.6π*10⁵*0.04997*10⁻⁶)

    Y=39.8ohms

    d. as calculated above the capacitance of the capacitor is

    0.04997μF.

    e. since the impedance is express mathematically as

    Z=√ (Y²) = 39.8ohms
