Answer

200jA200j\,\mathrm{A}

Step 1: Write the formula for current in a circuit.
I=VZI = \frac{V}{Z}

Step 2: Identify the values with units. Voltage V=100VV = 100\,\mathrm{V}, capacitive impedance Z=j0.5ΩZ = -j\,0.5\,\Omega.
Substitute into the formula:
I=100Vj0.5ΩI = \frac{100\,V}{-j\,0.5\,\Omega}

Step 3: Simplify the denominator. Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator or rewrite:
1j=1jjj=j(j)j=jj2=j1=j\frac{1}{-j} = \frac{1}{-j} \cdot \frac{j}{j} = \frac{j}{(-j)j} = \frac{j}{-j^2} = \frac{j}{1} = j
So,
I=100V0.5Ωj=200AjI = \frac{100\,V}{0.5\,\Omega} \cdot j = 200\,A \cdot j

Final answer: 200jA\boxed{200j\,A}
