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
