Explanation / Answer

Sorry we are allowed to solve only one question at a time
so I am solving first one
First of all we have to calculate the impedance of circuit.
Z = (R2+ XC2)1/2 =
XC = 1/(wC) where W is angualr frequency W = 2Pi(N) = 565.4866 rad/s where N is frequency in Hz
XC = 88.419 ohm
Z = 133.484 ohm
V = IZ
Irms = Vrms/Z = 120/133.484 = 0.8989 A
