JEE Main & Advanced Physics Alternating Current / प्रत्यावर्ती धारा Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       Capacitor serves as a block for dc and offers an easy path to ac. Reason                 :   Capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to frequency.

    A)             If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

    B)             If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

    C)             If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D)             If the assertion and reason both are false.

    E)             If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       The capacitive reactance of capacitor is given by \[{{X}_{C}}=\frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{1}{2\pi fC}\] So this is infinite for dc (f = 0) and has a very small value for ac. Therefore a capacitor blocks dc.
