NEET Physics AC Voltage Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In an AC circuit, the rms value of current is used to calculate the average heating effect.
Reason (R): The rms value of alternating current produces the same average heating effect as one ampere of DC current would produce under the same conditions.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both the assertion and reason are true. The rms value of AC is defined to match the heating effect of an equivalent DC current, as mentioned in Chunk 4.
