A circuit consists of a 2μF capacitor connected through an a.c. ammeter to an a.c. source of voltage given by V=200√2sin(100t+π3) where V is in volts and t in seconds. The reading of the ammeter is

Solution
The correct option is D 40 mA An a.c. ammeter reads the rms value of current. Given V0=200√2 volts and ω=100rads−1 Irms=Vrms×ωC 200√2√2×100×(2×10−6=40mA.
