A 220 V AC supply is connected between points A and B.

What will be potential difference across capacitor C ?

A

220 V

B

110 V

C

0 V

D

`220 sqrt(2)V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Across the capacitor a half-wave appears as shown.

Frequency is same as that of input, rms value is still 220 V and hence, peak value is `220sqrt(2)`. So, capacitor is charged to a potential difference of `220sqrt(2)V`.
