The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "At resonance, the power factor of a series L-C-R circuit is zero." - **Power Factor (PF)** is defined as the cosine of the phase angle (φ) between the current and voltage in an AC circuit. Mathematically, it is given by: \[ \text{Power Factor} = \cos(\phi) \] ### Step 2: Analyze the Condition at Resonance At resonance in a series L-C-R circuit: - The inductive reactance (X_L) and capacitive reactance (X_C) are equal, which leads to the total impedance (Z) being purely resistive. - This means that the phase angle (φ) between the current and voltage is zero (φ = 0). ### Step 3: Calculate the Power Factor at Resonance Using the definition of power factor: - Since φ = 0 at resonance, we can calculate the power factor: \[ \text{Power Factor} = \cos(0) = 1 \] Thus, the power factor at resonance is 1, not zero. ### Step 4: Understand the Reason The reason states that "At resonance, current function and voltage functions are in the same phase." - This is indeed true because at resonance, the phase difference between the voltage and current is zero. Therefore, they are in phase. ### Conclusion - The assertion is **false** because the power factor is not zero at resonance; it is actually 1. - The reason is **true** because the current and voltage are indeed in phase at resonance. ### Final Answer The correct option is that the assertion is false, but the reason is true. ---
