RC Circuits MCQs : This section focuses on the "RC Circuits". These Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) should be practiced to improve the RC Circuits skills required for various interviews (campus interview, walk-in interview, company interview), placement, entrance exam and other competitive examinations.

A. 45 Vac
B. 50 Vac
C. 60 Vac
D. 65 Vac
Question 2
Power that is measured in volt-amperes is called

B. reactive power
C. true power
D. apparent power
Question 3
As frequency increases
A. both series and parallel RC impedance decrease
B. series RC impedance decreases and parallel RC impedance increases
C. series RC impedance increases and parallel RC impedance decreases
D. both series and parallel RC impedance increase
Question 4
What is the effect of increasing the resistance in a series RC circuit?
A. There will be no effect at all.
B. The current will increase.
