  • question_answer
    Directions: In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as: Assertion (A): The drift velocity of electrons in a metallic wire will decrease, if the temperature of the wire is increased. Reason (R): On increasing temperature, conductivity of metallic wire decreases.

    A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)        

    B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)

    C) Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false             

    D) Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b) On increasing temperature of wire, the kinetic energy of free electrons increase and so they collide more rapidly with each other and hence their drift velocity decreases. Also when temperature increases, resistivity increase and resistivity is inversely proportional to conductivity of material.
