A small signal voltage V(t) = Vβ sinΟt is applied across an ideal capacitor C. What is the behavior of the current I(t)?
Current I(t) is in phase with voltage V(t).
Current I(t) leads voltage V(t) by 180Β°.
Current I(t) lags voltage V(t) by 90Β°.
Over a full cycle, the capacitor C does not consume any energy from the voltage source.
To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between voltage and current in a capacitor.Given:The current through a capacitor is given by the equation:Substitute into the equation:Differentiate Thus, the current is:We know that Therefore, can be rewritten as:This shows that the current leads the voltage by However, the correct option states that the current leads by which is incorrect based on our analysis.Let's analyze the energy consumption:The energy consumed by a capacitor over a full cycle is given by:Since we have:This integral represents the energy stored and released by the capacitor,which over a full cycle results in zero net energy consumption.Therefore, the correct behavior is described by Option 4:Over a full cycle, the capacitor C does not consume any energy from the voltage source.Thus, the correct option is Option 4.
