- Let the applied voltage be
The current through an ideal capacitor, would then be
$\text{I} = \text{I}_{o}\sin(\omega\text{t} + \frac{\pi}{2}) = \text{I}_{0}\cos\omega\text{t}$
$\therefore\text{P}_{inst} = \text{VI}$
$\therefore\text{P}_{AV} = \frac{1}{\text{T}}\int^{T}_{0}\text{VIdt}$
$\therefore\text{P}_{AV} = \frac{\text{V}_{0}\text{I}_{0}}{2}\langle\sin2\omega\text{t}\rangle$
$=0.$
- $\text{X}_{c} = \frac{1}{\omega\text{C}}$
