AIPMT PRELIMS 2011 Physics RMS Current MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

In an AC circuit an alternating voltage e = 200√2 sin 100t volts is connected to capacitor of capacity 1 μF. The r.m.s. value of the current in the circuit is

A

20 mA

B

10 mA

C

100 mA

D

200 mA

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The r.m.s. current is calculated using I_RMS = ε₀ / (1/ωC) = 200 × 100 × 10⁻⁶ A, which equals 20 mA.
