Q1:

In a diode rectifier with a capacitance input filter, a surge current is likely to flow when the circuit is switched on. The cause of this surge current is

A the non linear behaviour of diodes

B the capacitor acts as a short circuit at the instant of switching,

C the inductance of leads

D both (a) and (b)

ANS:B - the capacitor acts as a short circuit at the instant of switching,
