Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 125
Question: Assertion : When ac circuit contain resistor only, its power is minimum. Reason : Power of a circuit is independent of phase angle.
Options:
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.
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
The power of a ac circuit is given by $ P=EI\cos \varphi $ where cosf is power factor and f is phase angle. In case of circuit containing resistance only, phase angle is zero and power factor is equal to one. Therefore power is maximum in case of circuit containing resistor only.
