    A diode is connected to \[220\,\,V(rms)AC\] in series with a capacitor as shown in figure. The voltage across the capacitor is

    A) \[220\,\,V\]                       

    B) \[110\,\,V\]

    C)  \[311.1\,\,V\]                  

    D)  \[\frac{220}{\sqrt{2}}V\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The diode \[D\] will conduct for positive half cycle of \[AC\] supply because this is forward biased. For negative half cycle of \[AC\] supply, this is reverse biased and does not conduct. So output would be half wave rectified and for half wave rectified output will                 \[{{V}_{rms}}=\frac{{{V}_{0}}}{2}=\frac{220\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{220}{\sqrt{2}}\]
