An ac source is connected to a capacitor C. Due to decrease in its operating frequency :
- displacement current increases.
- displacement current decreases.
- capacitive reactance remains constant.
- capacitive reactance decreases.
Answer
(2) displacement current decreases.
Solution
Capacitive reactance: XC = 1 C = 12 f C
when f decreases, XC increases.
Current through the circuit: I = VXC decreases.
the displacement current between the plates equals the conduction current in the wires,
the displacement current decreases.
Answer: (2)
