MCQ
An ac source is connected to a capacitor C. Due to increase in its operating frequency:
  • A
    Capacitive reactance increases.
  • B
    Capacitive current decreases.
  • Displacement current increases
  • D
    Displacement current decreases.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Displacement current increases
(C)
Capacitive reactance $=\frac{1}{\omega C }= X _{ c }$ (say)
On increasing the operating frequency $w$ increases
As $X_c$ is inversily proportional to $w$ the value of $X_c$ decreses.
$\begin{array}{l}\therefore I_c=I_D \\
=\frac{V_o}{X_c}\end{array}$
As $X_c$ decreases therefore displacement current Id increases.

A particle of mass m moving with a velocity $u$ makes an elastic one dimensional collision with a stationary particle of mass $m$ establishing a contact with it for extremely small time $T$. Their force of contact increases from zero to $F_0$ linearly in time $\frac{T}{4}$, remains constant for a further time $\frac{T}{2}$ and decreases linearly from  $F_0$  to zero in further time $\frac{T}{4}$ as shown. The magnitude possessed by $F_0$  is
