Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion (A): An inductance and a resistance are connected in series with an AC circuit. In this circuit, the current and the potential difference across the resistance logs behind potential difference across the inductance by an angle

\frac{\pi}{2}.

Reason (R): In L - R circuit, voltage leads the current by phase angle which depends on the value of inductance and resistance both.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

Option B (Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion) is correct because while both statements are true, the reason doesn't directly explain the phase difference between voltage across the resistor and inductor.

circuit, current and voltage are in same phase at resonance.

Reason (R) : In series

L-C-R, \mathrm{AC}

circuit, resonant frequency does not depend on the value of resistance. Hence, current at resonance does not depend on resistance. A series

\frac{\pi}{4}

C

is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again
