Understanding +4 | -1

Statement (A): If current varies sinusoidally the average power consumed in a cycle is zero.

Statement (B): If current varies sinusoidally the average current is zero in a complete cycle.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

(A) is false but (B) is true

Option C ((A) is false but (B) is true) is correct because average power consumed in a cycle is not zero, while average current is zero for sinusoidal variation.

. When only the capacitor is removed, then the current lags behind the voltage by

60^{\circ}

. When only the inductor is removed the current leads the voltage by

60^{\circ}

. The average power dissipated in original L-C-R circuit is Assertion (A) : In series

L-C \cdot R, \mathrm{AC}

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

L-C-R

circuit is connected to an

\mathrm{AC}

voltage source. When

L

is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between current and voltage is

\frac{\pi}{4}

C

is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again

\frac{\pi}{4}

between current and voltage. The power factor of the circuit is A capacitor in an ideal LC circuit is fully charged by a DC source. Then it is disconnected from DC source, the current in the circuit
