NEET Physics AC Voltage Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a purely capacitive AC circuit, the current leads the voltage by π/2. | Reason (R): Capacitive reactance limits the amplitude of the current in the circuit similarly to how resistance limits the current in a resistive circuit.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true as in a purely capacitive AC circuit, the current leads the voltage by π/2. The reason is true as capacitive reactance limits the current, but it does not explain why the current leads the voltage.
