Given below are two statements : Statement-I: The reactance of an ac circuit is zero. It is possible that the circuit contains a capacitor and an inductor. Statement-II: In ac circuit, the average power delivered by the source never becomes zero. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Step-by-step solution

The reactance of a circuit containing a capacitor and an inductor is given by X = X L - X C = ω L - 1 ω C . An AC circuit has zero reactance at resonance, i.e., when, X L = X C . So, first statement is true. The power consumption in an AC circuit is zero when circuit contains only inductance or capacitance since average power consumed in a cycle is zero for inductance or capacitance. So, second statement is false.
