Assertion: harmonics in the supply prevent a complete null in an alternating bridge. Reason: the balance condition involves reactances, which depend on frequency.

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

Answer: B

A network balanced for the fundamental is not balanced for the third or fifth harmonic, because each arm's reactance is different at those frequencies. The residual harmonic voltage keeps the detector alive, and the cure is a tuned detector or a cleaner source.
