Given alternating AC source E = 36 sin (120 \pi \mathrm{t})  v & capacitor  C = 150 \muF

using Q = CV 
we can write Q = \left(\mathrm{CE}_0 \sin \omega \mathrm{t}\right)  

Current i    =\frac{\mathrm{dQ}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\left(\mathrm{CE}_0 \omega \cos \omega \mathrm{t}\right)                         

max. value of current {i }_{0}=\mathrm{CE}_0 \omega

i_{0} \begin{aligned} & \text { or } \mathrm{i}_0=150 \times 10^{-6} \times 36 \times 120 \pi \\ & =2.03 \mathrm{~A} \end{aligned}
