NEET Physics AC Voltage Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In an AC circuit with only a capacitor, the current leads the voltage by .
Reason (R): The capacitive reactance in an AC circuit causes the current to lag the voltage by .
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
In an AC circuit with a capacitor, the current leads the voltage by as stated in Chunk 4. However, the reason given is incorrect, as capacitive reactance causes the current to lead, not lag.
