Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current 6 Question 12

####12. A series RC circuit is connected to AC voltage source. Consider two cases; (A) when C is without a dielectric medium and (B) when C is filled with dielectric of constant 4. The current IR through the resistor and voltage VC across the capacitor are compared in the two cases. Which of the following is/are true?

(a) IRA>IRB

(b) IRA<IRB

(c) VCA>VCB

(d) VCA<VCB

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 12. (b, c)

Solution:

  1. Z=R2+XC2=R2+1ωC2

In case (b), capacitance C will be more. Therefore, impedence Z will be less. Hence, current will be more.

Further, VC=V2VR2=V2(IR)2

In case (b), since current I is more.

Therefore, VC will be less.
