Assertion (A) : A capacitor blocks d.c. ...

Assertion (A) : A capacitor blocks d.c. but offers an easy path to a.c.
Reason (R) : Capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to frequency of a.c. supply.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`X_(C) =1/(C omega)`, Hence for d.c. `X_( C) = infty`.
