An alternating voltage (in volts) given by 
is connected to 
capacitor through an ideal ac ammeter in series. The reading of the ammeter and the average power consumed in the circuit shall be
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
On comparing 
with
The capacitive reactance is
ac ammeter reads the rms value of current. Therefore, the reading of the ammeter is
The average power consumed in the circuit,
In an pure capacitive circuit, the phase difference between current and voltage is
