A small signal voltage is applied across an ideal capacitor C

Topic: NEET PYQ

Answer: D. Full step-by-step solution below.

  1. ACurrent is in phase with voltage .
  2. BCurrent It leads voltage Vt by
  3. CCurrent It , lags voltage Vt by
  4. DOver a full cycle the capacitor does not consume any energy from the voltage source.

Correct answer: D

Solution

(d) When an ideal capacitor is connected with an ac voltage source, current leads voltage by 90. Since, energy stored in capacitor during charging is spent in maintaining charge on the capacitor during discharging. Hence over a full cycle the capacitor does not consume any energy from the voltage source.
