An ac source (sinusoidal source with frequency 50 Hz) is connected in series with a rectifying diode, a 100 Ω Ω resistor, a 1000 µF capacitor and milliammeter. After some time the milliammeter reads zero. The voltage measured across the capacitor with a dc voltmeter is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C

In this state the circuit will work as half wave rectifier and the voltage across capacitor will be equal to average value of voltage of ac source over a half cycle.
