Best answer

Capacitance of the capacitor, C = 100 μF = 100 × 10−6

Resistance of the resistor, R = 40 Ω 

Supply voltage, V = 110 V 

(a) Frequency of oscillations, ν= 60 Hz

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

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