Chapter 25, Problem 79A

To determine

To Calculate: Largest effective potential difference applied to the capacitor.

Answer to Problem 79A

The effective potential is found to be $407$ V.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  $V_{\max }=575$ V

Formula Used:

  $V_{eff}=\frac{V_{\max }}{\sqrt{2}}$

  $V_{eff}$ = Effective potential difference

  $V_{\max }$ = Peak potential difference

Calculation:

Largest effective potential difference can can be calculated by the formula,

  $V_{eff}=\frac{V_{\max }}{\sqrt{2}}$

Substituting values in above formula,

  $V_{eff}=\frac{575}{\sqrt{2}}$

  = $407$ V.

Conclusion:

Hencelargest effective potential difference applied to the capacitor is $407$ V.
