NEET Physics AC Voltage MCQ Question
In an AC circuit with voltages across a resistor (V_R) and a capacitor (V_C), how should the total voltage across the RC combination be calculated?
V_RC = V_R + V_C
V_RC = V_R - V_C
V_RC = sqrt(V_R^2 + V_C^2)
V_RC = V_R * V_C
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In an AC circuit, the total voltage across an RC combination is the square root of the sum of the squares of the individual voltages, due to their phase difference.
