The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "The power in an AC circuit is minimum if the circuit has only a resistor." - In an AC circuit, the power (P) is given by the formula: \[ P = V_{\text{rms}} \times I_{\text{rms}} \times \cos \phi \] where \( \phi \) is the phase angle between the voltage and current. - For a purely resistive circuit, the phase angle \( \phi \) is 0 degrees (or 0 radians), which means \( \cos \phi = 1 \). Therefore, the power is maximum, not minimum. ### Conclusion for Assertion: The assertion is **false** because the power is maximum in a purely resistive circuit, not minimum. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Power of a circuit is independent of the phase angle." - From the power formula, we see that power is indeed dependent on the phase angle \( \phi \) since it directly affects the value of \( \cos \phi \). - When \( \phi = 90^\circ \) (or \( \pi/2 \) radians), \( \cos \phi = 0 \), resulting in zero power. This shows that power is very much dependent on the phase angle. ### Conclusion for Reason: The reason is **false** because the power in an AC circuit is dependent on the phase angle. ### Final Conclusion: Since the assertion is false and the reason is also false, the correct answer is that both the assertion and the reason are incorrect. ### Summary of the Answer: - Assertion: False - Reason: False - Therefore, the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are false. ---
