MCQ
When an AC voltage of 220V is applied to the capacitor C:
  • A
    The maximum voltage between plates is 220V.
  • B
    The current is in phase with the applied voltage.
  • C
    The charge on the plates is in phase with the applied voltage.
  • D
    Power delivered to the capacitor is zero.

Answer

  1. The charge on the plates is in phase with the applied voltage.
  2. Power delivered to the capacitor is zero.

Solution:

If the alternating voltage is applied to the capacitor, the plate connected to the positive terminal of the source will be at higher potential and the plate connected to the negative terminal of source will be at lower potential. So the plates capacitor is charged.

If $\text{V}=\text{V}_0\sin\omega\text{t},\text{Q}=\text{C V}_0\sin\omega\text{t}$ or we can say that Q and emf are in pahse.

As $\text{P}=\text{V}_\text{rms}\text{I}_\text{rms}\cos\phi$ and in case of a capacitor, $\phi=\frac{\pi}{2}\text{P} = 0,$ or we can say that power delivered to the capacitor is zero.

⇒ Pav = power delivered = 0.
