The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements regarding a practical choke coil, let's break down the assertions and reasoning step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion **Assertion (A):** For a practical choke coil, the power factor is very small. - A choke coil is an inductor used in AC circuits to limit the current. - The power factor (cos φ) in an AC circuit is defined as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit. - In a choke coil, which has significant inductance, the inductive reactance (X_L) is usually much larger than the resistance (R). - This results in a small power factor, as the power factor is given by cos φ = R/Z, where Z is the impedance (Z = √(R² + X_L²)). ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason **Reason (R):** In a practical choke coil, the power dissipation reduces if the frequency of the AC is increased. - The inductive reactance (X_L) is given by the formula X_L = ωL, where ω is the angular frequency (ω = 2πf, with f being the frequency). - If the frequency (f) increases, the inductive reactance (X_L) also increases. - As X_L increases, the total impedance (Z) of the circuit increases, which leads to a decrease in the current (I) flowing through the circuit, given that V = IZ. - Since the power dissipation (P) in an AC circuit is given by P = I_rms²R cos φ, if the current decreases, the power dissipation also decreases. ### Step 3: Conclusion - Both the assertion and reason are true. - The reason provided correctly explains the assertion regarding the choke coil's power factor and power dissipation. ### Final Answer Both the assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---
