Q126 / 180 · NEET 2015 (Phase 2) · Physics

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:

  • Correct answer
    A
    Va>Vb
  • B
    ia>ib
  • C
    Va=Vb
  • D
    Va<Vb

Solution

Figure​​​​​​​

i=vR2+1Cω2

VC=vR2+1Cω2×1Cω

VC=VRCω2+1  

If we fill a di-electric material

C↑⇒VC↓

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
