Assertion : The alternating current lags behind the e.m.f. by a phase angle of \(\pi / 2\), when AC flows through an inductor.
Reason : The inductive reactance increases as the frequency of AC source decreases.

Options:
  • A If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
  • B If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
  • C If assertion is true but reason is false
  • D If both assertion and reason are false.

The correct answer is: If assertion is true but reason is false
Assertion is correct but reason is false because inductance reactance $X_L=2 \pi f L$. So, higher frequency greater inductance reactance.
