A capacitor is to to a circuit
be connected acrossasa 230V
shown.
rms a.c. supply. To prevent damage to the
capacitor, its minimum voltage rating must
be
A 163V
B 230V
C 325V
D 460V
The
E alternating
650V supply has a constant peak
voltage but its frequency can be varied.
The frequency is steadily increased from
50Hz to 5000Hz. The reading on the a.c.
ammeter
A Remains constant
B Decreases steadily.
C Increases steadily.
D Increases then decreases.
E Decreases then increases.
5. A resistor and capacitor are connected in series with an a.c. supply of voltage VS as
shown below. A voltage VC is produced across the capacitor. The frequency of the
supply can be changed.
When the frequency of the supply is 100Hz the ratio V C/VS equals 0.5. The frequency of
the supply voltage VS is now increased to 1000Hz while the amplitude is kept constant.
State whether the ratio VC/VS will increase, decrease or be unchanged. Justify your
answer. 2
6. The 9V battery in the circuit shown below has negligible internal resistance.
