An ac source is connected to a capacitor CC. Due to decrease in its operating frequency:

Options

  1. Acapacitive reactance remains constant
  2. Bcapacitive reactance decreases
  3. Cdisplacement current increases
  4. Ddisplacement current decreases

Correct answer

D. displacement current decreases

Step-by-step solution

Capacitive reactance is given by,

XC=1\omegaC⇒XC∝1ω{X}_{C} = \dfrac{1}{\omegaC} ⇒ {X}_{C} ∝ \dfrac{1}{\omega}

Clearly, as ω\omega decreases the value of the XC{X}_{C} 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.
