A diode is connected to `220V (rms)` `ac` in series with a capacitor as shown in fig. The voltage across the capacitor is

A

`220 V`

B

`110 V`

C

`311.1 V`

D

`220/(sqrt(2))V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The diode `D` will conductor for positive half cycle of a.c. supply because this is forward biased. For negative half cycle of `a.c.` supply, this is reverse biased and does not conduct. So output would be half wave rectified output
`V_(rms)=(V_(0))/2=(200sqrt(2))/2=200/(sqrt(2))`
