Assertion: Average value of AC over a co...

Assertion: Average value of `AC` over a complete cycle is always zero.
Reason: Average value of `AC` is always defined over half cycle.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explantion of the assertion.

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not true the correct explantion of the assertion.

C

If the assertion is true but reason false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
For half cycle `I_(mean)=0.636 I_(0)`
or `E_(mean)=0.636 E_(0)`
Average value is always defined over a half cycle cause in next half cycle it will be opposite in direction. Hence for one complete cycle, average value will be zero.

    Average value of KE and PE over entire time period is

    Assertion (A) : The average value of lt sin^(2) omega t gt is zero. Reason (R ) : The average value of function F (t) over a period T is lt F (t) gt = (1)/(T) int_(0)^(T) F (t) dt

    A : AC can be transmitted over long distances at high voltage without much power loss. R : The average value of AC is defined over any half cycle.

    These question consists of two statements each linked as Assertion and Reason. While answering these question you are required to choose any one of the following five responses. Assertion: Average value of current in half the cycle an AC circuit can't be zero. Reason: For positive half cycle average value of current is 2/pi i_(0) , where i_(0) is the peak value current. In time interval from t_(1) to t_(2) average value of current will be zero.
