Question: A capacitor with a capacitance C is driven by a sinusoidal voltage V ( t ) = V 0 c o s t as shown

A capacitor with a capacitance C is driven by a sinusoidal voltage V(t)=V0cost as shown in Fig. (a).
(1) When current i(t) is written as i(t)=i0cos(t+), find i0 and .
(2) Find the capacitive reactance xC that is a complex number and satisfies
tilde(V)(t)=xCtilde(i)(t).
Here the real parts of tilde(V)(t) and tilde(i)(t) are V(t)=V0cost and i(t)=i0cos(t+), respectively. Use j=-12 to avoid confusion with the current i.
(3) Suppose that an RC circuit is driven by a sinusoidal voltage Vin(t)=V0cost and the output signal Vout(t)=V1cos(t+) is taken across the capacitor as shown in Fig. (b). When R=1k and C=10nF, find the angular frequency 1 which results in V1=V02.
(4) When =1, find tan.
2. A point mass m is attached to a spring with a spring constant k. When it is subject to a damping force proportional to its velocity, the equation of motion is given by
mx+bx+kx=0.
If the point mass is initially at rest and x(0)=x0, solution to the Eq.(2) is given by
x(t)=ae-tcos(t+),
