MCQ

Assertion : A capacitor blocks direct current in the steady state.

Reason : The capacitive reactance of the capacitor is inversely proportional to frequency $f$ of the source of $emf$.

✓
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
C
If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
D
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Answer

Correct option: A.

If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.

a
Capacitive reactance $X_{C}=\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}$

Frequency of direct current is zero i.e. $f=0$ $\Longrightarrow X_{C}=\infty$

Thus resistance of capacitor for direct current is very large and so it do not allow the direct current to pass through it.

Hence, option $A$ is correct.

From a carbon nanotube of $1 \,\mu m$ length and $1 \,nm$ radius. $10$ electrons have been removed. Assume the resulting positive charge to be distributed umforrnly over the surface of the tube. The energy of an electron moving in a stable circular orbit around the axis along the length of the tube is calculated by applying the Bohr model. Accordingly, the frequency of radiation required to excite an electron from its ground state to the next level is in the range of (charge of the electron, $e =1.60 \times 10^{-19} \,C$; mass of the electron, $m _{ e }=9.11 \times 10^{-31} \,kg$; Planck's constant, $h =6.63 \times 10^{-34} \,Js$; Permittivity of free space, $\left.\varepsilon_0=8.85 \times 10^{-12}\,F / m \right)$
