प्रश्न
When an AC source is connected to an ideal capacitor, show that the average power supplied by the source over a complete cycle is zero
Advertisements
उत्तर
The instantaneous power supplied to the capacitor is
P = im cos(ωt)vm sin(ωt)
P = imvm cos(ωt)sin(ωt)
`P=(i_mv_m)/2sin(2omegat)`
Therefore, the average power is
`(:P:) = (:(i_mv_m)/2sin(2omegat):)=(i_mv_m)/2(:sin(2omegat):)`
Now, the average of sin(2ωt) over the cycle is zero.
∴ ⟨P⟩ = 0

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
| A capacitor is a system of two conductors separated by an insulator. The two conductors have equal and opposite charges with a potential difference between them. The capacitance of a capacitor depends on the geometrical configuration (shape, size and separation) of the system and also on the nature of the insulator separating the two conductors. They are used to store charges. Like resistors, capacitors can be arranged in series or parallel or a combination of both to obtain the desired value of capacitance. |
