KCET2009PhysicsAlternating Current
A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series with an AC source. If the potential drop across the capacitor is 5 ~V and that across resistor is 12 ~V , then applied voltage is
Options
- A13 ~V
- B17 ~V
- C5 ~V
- D12 ~V
Correct answer
A. 13 ~V
Step-by-step solution
Let the applied voltage be V volt. Here, V _ R =12 ~V , ~V _ C =5 ~V aligned V &= V _ R ²+ V _ C ² = (12)²+(5)² &= 144+25 = 169 =13 ~V aligned
