Question
For two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below:
  1. Both A and R are true, and R is correct explanation of the assertion.
  2. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  3. A is true, but R is false.
  4. A is false, but R is true.
Assertion: Heater wire must have high resistance and high melting point.
Reason: If resistance is high, the electric conductivity will be less.
✓

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Explanation:

Heater wire must have high resistance and high melting point, because in series current remains same, therefore according to Joule's law $\text{H}=\frac{\text{i}^2\text{Rt}}{4.2,}$ heat produced is high if R is high. Melting point must be high, so that wire may not melt with increase in temperature.

Assertion: In a chain of bulbs, 50 bulbs are joined in series. One bulb is removed now and circuit is completed again. If the remaining 49 bulbs are again connected in series across the same supply, then light gets decreased in the room.
Reason: Net resistance of 49 bulbs will be less than 50 bulbs.
