Can a capacitor of suitable capacitance be use dto control a.c in place of the choke coil ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, this is because average power consumed/cycle in an ideal capacitor is also zero. Therefore, like a choke coil, a condenser can reduce a.c. wilthout power dissipation.
