Assertion: a capacitance standard is preferred to an inductance standard in precision bridge work. Reason: a capacitor has no external magnetic field and suffers no eddy current loss.

  • A.both the assertion and the reason are true but the reason does not explain the assertion
  • B.the assertion is true but the reason given for it is false
  • C.the assertion is false although the reason offered is a true statement in itself
  • D.both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason explains the assertion

Answer: D

A standard inductor couples to whatever lies near it and changes value with the metal in its vicinity, while a capacitor's field is confined between its plates. That single property is why inductance is measured against capacitance rather than against a standard coil.
