An alternating voltage \(E=200 \sqrt{2} \sin (100 t)\) volt is connected to a \(1 \mu \mathrm{f}\) capacitor through an a.c. ammeter. The reading of the ammeter shall

  1. A \(10 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  2. B \(20 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  3. C \(40 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  4. D \(80 \mathrm{~Ma}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(20 \mathrm{~mA}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{rms}}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{rms}}}{\mathrm{X}_{\mathrm{C}}} \)
\( \therefore \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{ms}} =\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{o}} \omega \mathrm{C}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{200 \sqrt{2} \times 100 \times 1 \times 10^{-6}}{\sqrt{2}}\) \(=20 \mathrm{~mA}\)
