Question. Assertion: The alternating current lags behind the emf by a phase angle of π/2, when A.C. flows through an inductor.
Reason: The inductive reactance increases as the frequency of A.C. source decreases.

Question. Assertion: When capacitive reactance is smaller than the inductive reactance in LCR series circuit, emf leads the current.
Reason: The phase angle is the angle between the alternating emf and alternating current of the circuit.

Question. Assertion: Long distance transmission of A.C. is carried out at extremely high voltage.
Reason: For large distance, voltage has to be large.

Question. Assertion: A transformer cannot work on D.C. supply.
Reason: D.C. changes neither in magnitude nor in direction.

Question. Assertion: Soft iron is used as a core of transformer.
Reason: Area of hysteresis loop for soft iron is small.

Question. Assertion: We use thick wire in the secondary coil of a step down transformer to reduce the production of heat.
Reason: When the plane of the armature is parallel to the line of force of magnetic field, the magnitude of induced emf is maximum.

Question. Assertion: An alternating current shows magnetic effect.
Reason: Magnitude of alternating current varies with time.

Question. Assertion: A bulb connected in series with a solenoid is connected to A.C. source. If a soft iron core is introduced in the solenoid, the bulb will glow brighter.
Reason: On introducing soft iron core in the solenoid, the inductance decreases.

Question. Assertion: Capacitor serves as a block for D.C. and offers an easy path to A.C.
Reason: Capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to frequency.

Question. Assertion: At resonance, LCR series circuit have a maximum current.
Reason: At resonance, in LCR series circuit, the current and emf are in phase with each other.
