A variable frequency a.c. source is connected to a capacitor. What is the effect on the displacement current `(I_d)` when the frequency of the a.c. source is increased from 500 Hz to 1000 Hz?A. `I_(d)` will remain constantB. `I_(d)` will decreaseC. `I_(d)` will be doubledD. `I_(d)` will become half |

Answer» Correct Answer - C The reactance of a capacitor `X_(C) = 1/(omega C) = 1/(2 pi f C)` If the frequency is increased, the reactance is decreased and hence the current (I) is increased. As displacement current `(I_d)`= coduction current `I_(d)` will be doubled if the frequency is doubled. |
