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: A current carrying wire should be charged.
Reason: The current in a wire is due to flow of free electrons in a definite direction.
✓

Answer

  1. A is false, but R is true.

Explanation:

The current in a wire is due to flow of free electrons in a definite direction. But the number of protons in the wire at any instant is equal to number of electrons, and charge on electrons is equal and opposite to that of proton. Hence, net charge on the wire is zero.
