Assertion : No power loss associated with pure capacitor in ac circuit. Reason : No current is flowing in this circuit.

Options

  1. AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
  2. BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
  3. CIf assertion is true but reason is false
  4. 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}(1Cω)\left(\frac{1}{C \omega}\right) where (1Cωisthe\frac{1}{C \omega}is theimpedance due to capacitative resistance. The power consumed in this circuit is zero because the phase difference (\phi) between (emf\mathrm{emf} and current in a pure capacitance a.c. circuit is (π2\frac{\pi}{2}. Power factor (\cos \phi=0). It is only for d.c. that a current does not flow. Reason is false.
