MCQ
The reactance of a circuit is zero. It is possible that the circuit contains.
- Aan inductor and a capacitor
- Ban inductor but no capacitor
- Ca capacitor but no inductor
- Dneither an inductor nor a capacitor
✓
Answer
- neither an inductor nor a capacitor
Explanation:
Answer: A an inductor and a capacitor, B neither an inductor nor a capacitor
Reactance in electrical and electronic systems is the opposition of a circuit element to a change of electric current or voltage.Ideally a resistor has zero reactance.
Therefore in a circuit, reactance can be zero either if there are no inductors and capacitors in the circuit, or the individual reactance of inductors and capacitors cancel each other, making net reactance zero.

Heat and work are equivalent. This means:
- When we supply heat to a body we do work on it.
- When we do work on a body we supply heat to it.
- The temperature of a body can be increased by doing work on it.
- A body kept at rest may be set into motion along a line by supplying heat to it.
