Physics-AC Voltage

NEET Physics AC Voltage Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12

Assertion (A): In an AC circuit with only a capacitor, the current leads the voltage by π2\frac{\pi}{2}. | Reason (R): The capacitive reactance in an AC circuit causes the current to lag the voltage by π2\frac{\pi}{2}.

A

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

In an AC circuit with a capacitor, the current leads the voltage by π2\frac{\pi}{2} as stated in Chunk 4. However, the reason given is incorrect, as capacitive reactance causes the current to lead, not lag.
