A series R-C circuit is connected to AC ...

A series R-C circuit is connected to AC source Consider two cases,(A) When C is without a dielectric medium and (b) When C is filled with dielectric of constatn 4. The current `I_(R)` through the resistor and voltage `V_(c)` across the capacitor are comapared in two cases. Which of the following is true?

A

`I_(R )^(A) gt I_(R )^(B)`

B

`I_(R )^(A) lt I_(R )^(B)`

C

`V_(C )^(A) gt V_(C)^(B)`

D

`V_(C )^(A) lt V_(C)^(B)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C
Case (A): `Z_(A)=sqrt(R^(2)+((1)/(omega C))^(2))`
case (B) `Z_(B)=sqrt(R^(2)+((1)/(omega K C))^(2))`
so, `Z_(B)ltZ_(A)`
`I_(R )^(A)=V/(Z_A)` and `I_(R )^(B) = V/(Z_B) clearly `I_(R )^(A) lt I_(R )^(B)`.
Since currnet in case (B) is greater so, p.d. across R will increases in case(B) and thus across capacitor will decrease.
Hence `V_(C )^(A) gt V_(C)^(B)`. `(V_(R )^(2)+V_(C )^(2)=V_(0)^(2))` .
