Question

A 220 V A.C supply is connected between points A and B.  What will be Potential Difference V across the capacitor

Moderate
Solution

During positive half cycle, p-n junction conducts and capacitor is charged to maximum (peak) voltage.

Max Potential difference across capacitor = peak voltage = V0 = Vrms 2 = 2202 V
