1 of 1

Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion: When capacitive reactance is smaller then the inductive reactance in series LCR circuit, voltage leads the current.

Reason: In series LCR circuit inductive reactance is always greater then capacitive reactance.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

If Assertion is True but the Reason is False

Option C is correct because the assertion is true (voltage leads current when capacitive reactance is smaller), but the reason is false (inductive reactance is not always greater).

. 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

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
