Assertion $(A):$ If the frequency of the applied $AC$ is doubled, then the power factor of a series $R-L$ circuit decreases.
Reason $(R):$ Power factor of a series $R-L$ circuit is given by $\cos \theta = \frac{2R}{\sqrt{R^2 + \omega^2 L^2}}$.

    If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • C
    If Assertion is true but Reason is false.
  • D
