Water is the only substance found naturally in all three states on Earth's surface.
An AC source is connected to a capacitor C. Due to decrease in its operating frequency:
Capacitive reactance decreases.
Displacement current increases.
Displacement current decreases.
Capacitive reactance remains constant.
To solve this problem, we need to understand the behavior of a capacitor in an AC circuit.The capacitive reactance is given by the formula:where is the frequency of the AC source and is the capacitance.⢠As the frequency decreases, the capacitive reactance increases.⢠Therefore, Option 1 is incorrect, and Option 4 is also incorrect.The displacement current in the capacitor is given by:where is the voltage across the capacitor.⢠As the frequency decreases, the displacement current decreases.⢠Therefore, Option 2 is incorrect, and Option 3 is correct.Thus, the correct answer is Option 3: Displacement current decreases.
