A charged capacitor discharges through a resistance R with time consta

1.	A charged capacitor discharges through a resistance R with time constant τ. The two are now placed in series across an AC source of angular frequency ω = 1/τ The impedance of the circuit will be(a) R/√2(b) R(c) √2R(d) 2R
Answer» Correct Answer is: (c) √2R τ = RC ∴ ω = 1/RC Z = √(R² + (1/ωC)² = √(R² + R²) = √2R

Answer»

Correct Answer is: (c) √2R

τ = RC

∴ ω = 1/RC

Z = √(R² + (1/ωC)² = √(R² + R²) = √2R
