1. \(R ~\)
2. \(\frac{1}{f^2}\)
3. \(\frac{1}{L^2}\)
4. All of these

Given below are two statements.
Assertion (A): When a current \(I=(3+4 \sin \omega t)\) flows in a wire, then the reading of
a dc ammeter connected in series is \(4\) units.
Reason (R): A dc ammeter measures only the value of the current amplitude.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
