NEET UG PHYSICS MCQ: ALTERNATING CURRENT

1 Medium

1 of 1

Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion: In higher power transmission,

240 \mathrm{~V}

is preferred over

120 \mathrm{~V}

.
Reason: Power loss is more in case of 120 Vas compared to 240 V.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

If both Assertion & Reason are false

Option D (If both Assertion & Reason are false) is correct because higher voltage is preferred for power transmission to reduce power loss, and the reason provided is the opposite of the truth.

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
