An ac source is connected to a capacitor C . Due to decrease in its operating frequency:
- capacitive reactance remains constant
- capacitive reactance decreases
- displacement current increases
- displacement current decreases
Solution
Capacitive reactance is given by,
Clearly, as decreases the value of the will increase.
Now, as impedance of the circuit is decreasing and as we know, conduction current will be equal to the displacement current, hence displacement current will decrease.
