JEE Main & Advanced Physics Alternating Current / प्रत्यावर्ती धारा Question Bank ac Circuits

  • question_answer
    An alternating e.m.f. is applied to purely capacitive circuit. The phase relation between e.m.f. and current flowing in the circuit is            or In a circuit containing capacitance only [MP PET 1996; AIIMS 1997]

    A)            e.m.f. is ahead of current by p / 2

    B)            Current is ahead of e.m.f. by p / 2

    C)            Current lags behind e.m.f. by p

    D)            Current is ahead of e.m.f. by p

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               For purely capacitive circuit \[e={{e}_{0}}\sin \omega t\]            \[i={{i}_{o}}\sin \left( \omega t+\frac{\pi }{2} \right)\] i.e. current is ahead of emf by \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]
