NEET Physics Power in AC Circuits Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The average power consumed by an inductor over a complete cycle in an AC circuit is zero. | Reason (R): The average of the instantaneous power over a complete cycle for an inductor is zero due to the phase difference between current and voltage.
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
The NCERT text states that the average power supplied to an inductor over a complete cycle is zero because the average of the sin(2ωt) term is zero, confirming that both A and R are true and R explains A.
