# Compound alternating current circuits

### Explanation of question 10

A capacitor and resistor are connected in series across an AC supply, and take a current of 8A. When connected to a DC supply, the current will be

1. infinitely high
3. 8A
4. zero

The answer is :- 4 In a dc supply the capacitor has infinitely high impedance, thus no current will flow.
