Question

A capacitor is connected to an ac generator. As the generator’s frequency is increased, what happens to the capacitor connected ot the ac generator?

Answer 1

Answer:

Current in the capacitor increases as the frequency of the generator increases

Explanation:

Xc = 1/2πfC = 1/ wC

Since frequency is inversely proportional to reactance of a capacitor,

as the frequency increases, the capacitance decreases and tend towards behaving like a wire with zero resistance as such the generator send high current to the capacitor, the current in the capacitor increases.
