A series R-C circuit is connected to an alternating voltage source. Consider two situations : (a) When capacitor is air filled. (b) When capacitor is mica filled. Current through resistor is i and voltage across capacitor is V then

  1. ia > ib
  2. Va = Vb
  3. Va < Vb
  4. Va > Vb

Answer

(4) Va > Vb

Solution

Mica (dielectric) increases the capacitance: Cb > Ca

XC = 1 C decreases: XCb < XCa

i = V0 R2 + XC2 ib > ia

V = iXC = V0XC R2 + XC2 = V0 R2XC2 + 1

Smaller XC gives smaller V Va > Vb

Answer: (4)
