  • 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): Heater wire must have high resistance and high melting point. Reason (R): If resistance is high, the electric conductivity will be less.

    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) Heater wire must have high resistance and high melting point, because in series current remains same, therefore according to Joule's law \[H={{i}^{2}}Rt/4.2\], heat produced is high if R is high. Melting point must be high, so that wire may not melt with increase in temperature.
