MCQ
Assertion : Bending a wire does not effect electrical resistance.

Reason : Resistance of wire is proportional ot resistivity of material.

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

Answer

Correct option: A.
If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
a
Resistance wire $R = \rho \frac {I}{A}$, where $\rho $ is resistivity of material which does not depend on the geometry of wire. Since when wire is bent resistivity, length and area of cross-section do not change, therefore resistance of wire also remain same.

A rectangular coil $ABCD$ is hung from one side of a balance as shown in figure. A $500\, g$ mass is added to the other arm to balance the weight of the coil. A current of $9.8\, A$ is passed through the coil and a constant magnetic field of $0.4\, T$ acting inward (in $xz$ plane) is switched on such that only arm $CD$ of length $1.5\, cm$ lies in the field. The additional mass $m$ must be added to regain the balance is
