JEE Main & Advanced Physics Transmission of Heat Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       Water can be boiled inside satellite by convection.   Reason                 :       Convection is the process in which heat is transmitted from a place of higher temperature to a place of lower temperature by means of particles with their migrations from one place to another.

    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: E

    Solution :

                In the process of convection, the liquid at the bottom, becoming lighter, rises up. Thus the basis of convection is the difference in weight and upthrust. In weightlessness, this difference does not exist. So convection is not possible.
