Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion (A) : In an

\mathrm{AC}

circuit, potential difference across the capacitor may be greater than the applied voltage.

Reason (R) :

V_C=I X_C

, whereas

V=I Z

and

X_C

can be greater than

Z

also.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

Option A is correct because the potential difference across a capacitor in an AC circuit can be greater than the applied voltage due to resonance, and the reason correctly explains this with the relationship between capacitive reactance, impedance, and voltage.
