Question
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 the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion: In an electromagnetic wave, magnitude of magnetic field vector is much smaller than the magnitude of electric field vector.
Reason: Energy of electromagnetic waves is shared equally by the electric and magnetic fields.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
At every instant the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric field to the magnetic field of an em wave is given by $\frac{\text{E}}{\text{B}}=\text{c}.$
From this equation, the magnitude of electric vector is much greater than the magnitude of magnetic vector. Also electromagnetic waves carry energy which is equally shared by electric and magnetic field.

Assertion: An electric heater is heated first by direct and then by alternating currents. For both the currents, the potential difference across the ends of the heater is the same. The rate of production of heat will be different in two cases.
Reason: The resistance of a coil in altemating current will be more than the resistance of a coil in direct current, hence heat produced in case of direct current will be low.
