Assertion : The capacitive reactance limits the amplitude of the current in a purely capacitive circuit.
Reason : Capacitive reactance is proportional to the frequency and the capacitance.

A

If both assertion ans reason are true ans reaason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

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

C

If assertion istrue but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The capacitive reactance limits the amplitude of the current in a purely capacitive circuit in the same ways as the resistance limits the current in a purely resistive circuit.
i.e., `I_(0)=(epsilon_(0))/(X_(C ))`
But it is inversely proportional to the frequency and the capacitance.
