7.Alternating Current
medium
The reactance of a circuit is zero. It is possible that the circuit contains :
A
an inductor and a capacitor
B
an inductor but no capacitor
C
neigher an inductor nor a capacitor.
D
Both $(A)$ and $(C)$
Solution
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.
