An a.c. source of 200 V is connected through a diode 'D' to a capacitor as shown in figure. Find the maximum potential difference across the capacitor:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 283 V
$V_{rms}=200V$ [Given]
and,
$V_{rms}=\frac{V_{applied}}{\sqrt{2}}=200\sqrt{2}$
$=283V$
