If A.C. voltage is applied to capacitive circuit, the alternating current can flow in the circuit because__________________?

Correct answer: A. varying voltage produces the charging and dicharging currents

  • A. varying voltage produces the charging and dicharging currents
  • B. of high peak value
  • C. charging current can flow
  • D. discharge current can flow

Explanation

An alternating voltage continually changes the charge on the capacitor, producing alternating charging and discharging currents. A capacitor blocks steady DC after charging, but this changing voltage allows AC current to flow.
