NEET Physics AC Voltage MCQ Question
Consider a circuit where an AC source is connected to a capacitor as shown in Figure 7.8. Which component in the circuit plays a role similar to resistance in limiting the amplitude of the current?

Capacitive reactance
Inductive reactance
Resistive load
Voltage source
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a purely capacitive circuit, capacitive reactance (Xc) limits the amplitude of the current, similar to how resistance limits current in a purely resistive circuit.
