Q.

Given below are two statements:                                               [2023]

Statement I: An AC circuit undergoes electrical resonance if it contains either a capacitor or an inductor.

Statement II: An AC circuit containing a pure capacitor or a pure inductor consumes high power due to its non-zero power factor.

In the light of above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1 Both Statement I and Statement II are false  
2 Statement I is true but Statement II is false  
3 Both Statement I and Statement II are true  
4 Statement I is false but Statement II is true  

Ans.

(1)

For resonance, ϕ=0, hence both inductor and capacitor must be present. Also, power factor is zero for pure inductor or pure capacitor, hence both the components consume zero average power.
