NEET Physics AC Voltage MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Hard-Class 12

Which of the following statements about AC voltage applied to resistors and capacitors is correct?

A

The current across a resistor in an AC circuit is always in phase with the applied voltage.

B

A capacitor in an AC circuit completely prevents current from flowing once charged.

C

The voltage across a capacitor in an AC circuit increases and then decreases with time but does not limit the current.

D

In a purely resistive AC circuit, the current and voltage are out of phase by 90 degrees.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In an AC circuit, the current across a resistor is indeed in phase with the applied voltage, as indicated in the summary. In contrast, a capacitor in an AC circuit regulates current but does not completely prevent it from flowing.
