Question

12. Assertion (A): Circuits containing high capacity capacitors, charged to high voltage
should be handled with caution, even when the current in the circuit is switched off.
Reason (R): When an isolated capacitor is touched by hand or any other part of the
human body, there is an easy path to the ground available for the discharge of the
capacitor.
a. Both A and Rare true and R is the correct explanation of A
b. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C. A is true but Ris false
d. A is false and R is also false​

Answer 1

Answer:

'C'

Explanation:

A charged capacitor, after removing the battery, does not discharge itself. If this capacitor is touched by someone, he may feel shock due to large charge still present on the capacitor. Hence it should be handled cautiously otherwise this may cause a servere shock

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is (a) because assertion is true and reson is the correct explanation.... As the current will find an easy way to the ground so it's automatically understood that we'll get a shock..! So its a
