A series R-C circuit is connected to an alternating voltage source. Consider two situations:
(A)When capacitor is air filled.
(B)When capacitor is mica filled.
Current through resistor is i and voltage across capacitor is V then :
-
- Va > Vb
- ia > ib
- Va = Vb
- Va < Vb
Correct Option: A
For series R – C circuit, capacitive reactance,
Zc = √R² + (1 / Cω)²
current i = | V | = | V |
Zc | √R² + (1/Cω)² |
Vc = iXc = | V | × | 1 |
√ R² + (1 / Cω)² | (1/Cω) |
Vc = V / √(R Cω)² + 1
If we fill a di-electric material like mica instead of air then capacitance C↑ ⇒ Vc↓ So, Va > Vb
