NEET Physics Resonance Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12

Assertion (A): Resonance in an ac circuit occurs only when both an inductor and a capacitor are present in the circuit. | Reason (R): In resonance, the voltages across the inductor and capacitor cancel each other out, being out of phase.

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

According to the NCERT context, resonance requires both an inductor and a capacitor; their voltages cancel each other out, which is why resonance does not occur in RL or RC circuits.
