Assertion: A capacitor of suitable capacitance can be used in an `AC` circuit in place of the choke coil.
Reason: A capacitor blocks `DC` and allows `AC`

A

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

B

If both assertion and reason 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 and reason both are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We can use a capacitor of suitable capacitance as a choke coil because average power consumed per cycle in an ideal capacitor is zero. Therefore, like a choke coil, a condenser can reduce ac without power dissipation.
