STANDARD Physics AC Circuits MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12
In an alternating current circuit consisting of elements in series, the current increases on increasing the frequency of supply. Which of the following elements are likely to constitute the circuit?
A
Only resistor
B
Resistor and inductor
C
Resistor and capacitor
D
Only inductor
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
As frequency increases, the capacitive reactance (Xc) decreases, leading to an increase in current. Since resistance does not vary with frequency, the circuit likely consists of a resistor and a capacitor.
