Assertion : No power loss associated with pure capacitor in ac circuit.
Reason : No current is flowing in this circuit.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
C. If assertion is true but reason is false
Step-by-step solution
Assertion is true. When a capacitor is connected to an a.c. circuit, (\varepsilon_{r m s}=i_{r m s} where (impedance due to capacitative resistance. The power consumed in this circuit is zero because the phase difference (\phi) between ( and current in a pure capacitance a.c. circuit is (. Power factor (\cos \phi=0). It is only for d.c. that a current does not flow. Reason is false.
