JEE Main & Advanced Physics Current Electricity, Charging & Discharging Of Capacitors / वर्तमान बिजली, चार्ज और कैपेसिटर का निर Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       Voltameter measures current more accurately than ammeter. Reason                 :   Relative error will be small if measured from voltameter.

    A)             If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

    B)             If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

    C)             If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D)             If the assertion and reason both are false.

    E)             If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                Voltameter measures current indirectly in terms of mass of ions deposited and electrochemical equivalent  of the substance \[\left( I=\frac{m}{Zt} \right).\] Since value of m and Z are measured to 3rd decimal place and 5th decimal place respectively. The relative error in the measurement of current by voltmeter will be very small as compared to that when measured by ammeter directly.
