A resistance R and a capacitor C are joined to a source of AC of constant emf and variable frequency. The potential difference across C is V. If the frequency of AC is gradually increased, V will (a) increase (b) decrease (c) remain constant (d) first increase and then decrease |

Answer» Correct Answer is: (b) decrease Current i = e/Z = eX/√(R2 + X2) where X = 1/ωC. Potential difference across C = V = iX = eX/√(R2 + X2) or V = e/√(1 + (R/X)2) = e/√(1 + (ωCR)2). As ω increases, V will decrease |
