Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

True AC's average value over a full cycle is zero, but its RMS value is finite.
True In AC, the current through a capacitor continuously changes direction but always exists.
True RMS value represents the effective (heating) value of .
False AC cannot be used for electrolysis, because the direction of current keeps reversing, so no net chemical change occurs.
