उत्तर
The reactance of a capacitor is given by,
`X_c = 1/(omegaC)`
Also,
C = `(K_{ε0}A)/d`
where C = capacitance
K = dielectric constant
A = area of plates
d = distance between the plates.
K>1
∴ The capacitance C of the capacitor will increase on inserting the dielectric slab and, consequently, the reactance Xc will decrease.
Rms current, `i_rms = ε_0/sqrt(2X_c`
Therefore, the rms current will increases.

You are given three circuit elements X, Y and Z. When the element X is connected across an a.c. source of a given voltage, the current and the voltage are in the same phase. When the element Y is connected in series with X across the source, voltage is ahead of the current in phase by π/4 . But the current is ahead of the voltage in phase by π/4when Z is connected in series with X across the source. Identify the circuit elements X, Y and Z. When all the three elements are connected in series across the same source, determine the impedance of the circuit.Draw a plot of the current versus the frequency of applied source and mention the significance of this plot.
