NEET Physics Power in AC Circuits Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): The average power delivered to an inductor in an AC circuit over one complete cycle is zero. | Reason (R): The average of sin(2ωt) over a complete cycle is zero.

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 A

Detailed Explanation

In the NCERT context, it is shown that the average power supplied to an inductor is zero because the average of sin(2ωt) is zero over a cycle, making R the correct explanation for A.
