Q.

An AC source is connected with a resistance (R) and an uncharged capacitance (C), in series. The potential difference across the resistor is in phase with the initial potential difference across the capacitor for the first time at the instant (assume that at t=0, emf is zero)

Detailed Solution

Let V=V0sinωt  (as V=0 at t = 0 ) Then VR=V0sinωt and VC=V0sin(ωtπ/2)

V and VR are in same phase. While VC lags V (or VR ) by 90. Now VR is in same phase with initial potential difference across the capacitor for the first time when,

Phase of potential difference across the resistor =ωt

Phase of potential difference across the capacitor=ω0-π2

They will be equal when,

ωt=π2+2π=3π2, t=3π2ω
