An ac source is connected to a capacitor . Due to decrease in its operating frequency:
Options
- Acapacitive reactance remains constant
- Bcapacitive reactance decreases
- Cdisplacement current increases
- Ddisplacement current decreases
Correct answer
D. displacement current decreases
Step-by-step solution
Capacitive reactance is given by,
Clearly, as decreases the value of the will increase.
Now, as impedance of the circuit is decreasing and as we know, conduction current will be equal to the displacement current, hence displacement current will decrease.
