NEET2020PhysicsAlternating CurrentActual
A 40   μF capacitor is connected to a 200   V , 50   Hz AC supply. The rms value of the current in the circuit is, nearly:
Options
- A2.05   A
- B2.5   A
- C25.1   A
- D1.7   A
Correct answer
B. 2.5   A
Step-by-step solution
Current flowing through the capacitor is given by, I rms = V X C = V 1 / C ω = V C ω ⇒ I rms = 200 × 40 × 10 − 6 × 2 π × 50 ⇒ I rms = 2.5   A
