Understanding +4 | -1

Assertion: A sinusoidal alternating current does not show any average magnetic effects.

Reason: The average value of an alternating current is zero.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion

Option A (If both Assertion & Reason are True & the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion) is correct because a sinusoidal alternating current has zero average value, resulting in no average magnetic effect.

In a series RC circuit with an AC source,

R=300 \, \Omega

C=25 \, \mu \mathrm{F}, \varepsilon_0=50 \mathrm{~V}

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

. 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}

. If instead

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
