When an AC voltage of 220 V is applied to the capacitor C

A

the maximum voltage between plates is 220 V.

B

the current is in phase with the applied voltage.

C

the charge on the plate is not in phase with the applied voltage.

D

power delivered to the capacitor per cycle is zero.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When an ac voltage of 220 V is applied to a capacitor C, the charge on the plates is in phase with the applied voltage. As the circuit is pure capacitive so, the current developed leads the applied voltage by a phase angle of `90^(@)` Hence, power delivered to the capacitor per cycle is
`P = V_("rms")I_("rms")cos 90^(@)=0`.
