A 220 ~V AC supply is connected between points A and B as shown in figure, what will be the potential difference V across the capacitor?
Options
- A220 ~V
- B110 ~V
- Czero
- D220 2 ~V
Correct answer
D. 220 2 ~V
Step-by-step solution
As p - n junction diode conducts electricity during only positive half-cycle (forward biased condition ). So, the potential difference across the capacitor is V= Peak value of input AC voltage aligned &=V₀=V_ rms 2 & Given, V_ rms =220 ~V & V=220 2 ~V aligned
