Question
Assertion : Wire through which current flows gets heated.
Reason : When current is drawn from a cell, chemical energy is converted into heat energy.

Answer

(c) When we supply current through the cell, chemical reactions takes place, sochemicalenergy of cell is converted into electrical energy. If a large amount of current is drawn from wire for a long time only then wire get heated.

Assertion : A physical quantity cannot be called as a vector if its magnitude is zero.
Reason $\quad:$ A vector has both, magnitude and direction.
Assertion : Cars and aeroplanes are streamlined.
Reason : This is done to reduce the backward drag due to atmosphere.
Assertion : A bar magnet is dropped into a long vertical copper tube. Even taking air resistance as negligible, the magnet attains a constant terminal velocity. If the tube is heated, the terminal velocity gets increased.
Reason : The terminal velocity depends on eddy current produced in bar magnet.
