Question:

Read the following statements carefully:

(A) The average power in an inductor over one complete cycle is zero.
(B) Self-inductance plays the role of inertia.
(C) Mutual inductance of a pair of coils depends on their separation as well as their relative orientation.
(D) The capacitive reactance increases with increase in frequency of applied a. c.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A), (B) and (C) only

(A), (C) and (D) only

(B), (C) and (D) only

(A), (B), (C) and (D)

Correct Answer:

(A), (B) and (C) only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → (A), (B) and (C) only

(A) Correct — In an ideal inductor, energy is stored and returned each cycle, so average power over one cycle is zero.

(B) Correct — Self-inductance opposes change in current, analogous to inertia in mechanics.

(C) Correct — Mutual inductance depends on distance between coils and their relative orientation.

(D) Incorrect — Capacitive reactance $X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C}$ decreases with increase in frequency.

Final Answer: (A), (B), (C)
