AC voltage applied to a capacitor:
The circuit containing alternating voltage source V=V0sinωt is connected to a capacitor of capacitance C.
Suppose at any time t, q be the charge on the capacitor and i be the current in the circuit. Since there is no resistance
in the circuit, so the instantaneous potential drop
Since
Where,
Comparing equation of current with
Again comparing peak value of current with ohm's law ,we find that quantity 1/ωC has the dimension of the resistance.
Thus the quantity
Phase difference (between voltage and current):
Power :
Power factor :
Time difference:
