A 220 V AC supply is connected between points A and B . What will be the potential difference V across the capacitor ?

A

` 220V`

B

` 110V`

C

` 0V`

D

`220sqrt(2)V`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
During positive half cycle, p-n junction conducts. Potential difference across C= peak voltage of the given a.c. voltage `=V_(0)=V_(rms)sqrt(2)=220sqrt(2)V`.
