An AC source is connected to a capacitor . Due to a decrease in its operating frequency:

  1. A
    Capacitive reactance decreases
  2. B
    Displacement current increases
  3. C
    Displacement current decreases
  4. D
    Capacitive reactance remains constant

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Capacitive reactance .If frequency decreases, increases.The conduction current . Since increases, decreases.According to Maxwell's theory, the displacement current is equal to the conduction current in the circuit.Therefore, the displacement current decreases.
