Question
Two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from thecodes(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: Silicon is preferred over germanium for making semiconductor devices.
Reason: The energy band for germanium is more than the energy band of silicon.

Answer

  1. A is false and R is also false.
Explanation:

The energy gap for germanium is less (0.72eV) than the energy gap of silicon (I.IeV). Therefore, germanium is preferred over silicon for making semiconductor devices.

Assertion (A): Three equal charges are situated on a circle of radius r such that they form on equilateral triangle, then the electric field intensity at the centre is zero.
Reason (R): The force on unit positive charge at the centre, due to the three equal charges are represented by the three sides of a triangle taken in the same order. Therefore, electric field intensity at centre is zero.
