Same current is flowing in two a.c. circuits. First contains only inductance and second contains only capacitance. If frequency of a.c. is increased for both, the current will
Same current is flowing in two a.c. circuits. First contains only inductance and second contains only capacitance. If frequency of a.c. is increased for both, the current will

A) increase in first circuit and decrease in second
B) increase in both circuits
C) decrease in both circuits
D) decrease in first circuit and increase in second

Solution: The correct option is D) decrease in first circuit and increase in second


Thus we can say that the current decrease in the inductive circuit if the frequency of the circuit is increased.
In case of the capacitive reactance:

Therefore, the current increases in the capacitive circuit when the frequency is increased.
