Assertion-Reasoning MCQs--you have to
select one of the codes (a),(b),(c),and(d)
(a)_Both A and R are true & R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A &R are true & R is not the correct explanation of A
(c) Ais true,but R is false. (d) A is false,but R is true.6. Assertion-At high temperature, metal wires have a greater
chance of short circuiting
Reason-Both resistance and resistivity of a material vary
with temperature
7. Assertion-Incandescent bulb passes an electric current
through a metal filament to produce hear.
Reason- The higher the wattage,the more energy is
consumed .
8. Assertion-Heater wire must have high resistance and high
melting point.
Reason- if resistance is high,the electric conductivity will
be less.
