The rms value of the conduction current in a parallel plate capacitor is 6.9 μA. The capacity of this capacitor, if it is connected to 230 V ac supply with an angular frequency of 600 rad/s, will be :
5 pF
50 pF
100 pF
200 pF
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Current in capacitor I=\(\frac{V}{X}\)C
I=(V)×(ωC)
C=\(\frac{I}{V\omega}\)=\(\frac{6.9×10^{−6}}{230×600}\)
=50 pF
