Alternating Current Ques 14
14. A small signal voltage $V(t)=V_0 \sin \omega t$ is applied across an ideal capacitor $C$ :
[2016]
(a) Current $I (t)$, lags voltage $V(t)$ by $90^{\circ}$.
(b) Over a full cycle the capacitor $C$ does not consume any energy from the voltage source.
(c) Current $I(t)$ is in phase with voltage $V(t)$.
(d) Current $I(t)$ leads voltage $V(t)$ by $180^{\circ}$.

Answer:
Correct Answer: 14.(b)
Solution:
- (b) As we know, power $P=V _{rms} \cdot I _{rms} $ $\cos \phi$ as
$\cos \phi=0 \quad(\because \phi=90^{\circ})$
$\therefore \quad$ Power consumed $=0$
