NEET Physics AC Voltage MCQ Question
Consider a diagram showing a purely capacitive AC circuit with an AC source generating voltage as v = v_m sin ωt connected to a capacitor. Which of the following correctly describes the role of the capacitor in this circuit?

The capacitor allows current to flow freely as in a resistive circuit.
The capacitor completely prevents any current from flowing in the circuit.
The capacitor limits or regulates the current but does not fully stop it.
The capacitor converts the AC voltage into a DC voltage across its plates.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
In a purely capacitive AC circuit, the capacitor limits or regulates the current but does not completely prevent it from flowing as indicated in the NCERT context.
