Question

Is it possible to use a capacitor of suitable capacitance instead of a choke coil?

Solution

Explanation:

  1. We can utilize a capacitor with a decent capacitance as a choke coil since the average power consumed each cycle in an ideal capacitor is zero.
  2. As a result, like a choke coil, a condenser can lower AC without wasting power.
  3. Because the average power consumed per cycle in a condenser is lower than that in a choke coil, it can reduce ac power usage.

Hence, instead of a choke coil, a capacitor with a suitable capacitance can be used.
