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 Rare 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 (A): Self-inductance is called the inertia of electricity.
Reason (R): Self-inductance is the phenomenon, according to which an opposing induced e.m.f. is produced in a coil as a result of change in current or magnetic flux linked with the coil.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:

Self-inductance of a coil is its property by virtue of which the coil opposes any change in the current flowing through it. It is because, the induced emf produced opposes the change in current. For this reason, self induction is called inertia of electricity.

Assertion (A): Photosensitivity of a metal is high if its work function is small.
Reason (R): Work function $=\text{h}\upsilon_0,$ where $\upsilon_0$ is the threshold frequency.
Assertion (A): If the frequency of the applied AC is doubled, then the power factor of a series R-L circuit decreases.
Reason (R): Power factor of series R-L circuit is given by \$\cos \phi=\frac{2 R}{R^2+\omega^2 L^2}$
Assertion (A): In Young’s double-slit experiment if wavelength of incident monochromatic light is just doubled, number of bright fringe on the screen will increase.
Reason (R): Maximum number of bright fringe on the screen is inversely proportional to the wavelength of light used.
Assertion (A): The photoelectrons produced by a monochromatic light beam incident on a metal surface have a spread in their kinetic energies.
Reason (R): The energy of electrons emitted from inside the metal surface, is lost in collision with the other atoms in the metal.
