An AC source producing emf
ε = ε0 [cos(100 π s–1)t + cos(500 π s–1)t]
is connected in series with a capacitor and a resistor. The steady-state current in the circuit is found to be
i = i1 cos [(100 π s–1)t +ϕ1] i2 cos[(500 π s–1)t + φ2]

1.  i1 > i2 

2.  i1 = i2 

3.  i1 < i2

4.  the information is insufficient to find the relation between i1 and i2
