NEET Physics AC Voltage MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 12

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?

Question diagram
A

Capacitive reactance

B

Inductive reactance

C

Resistive load

D

Voltage source

Correct Answer

Option A

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.
