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             :       Electric appliances with metallic body have three connections, whereas an electric bulb has a two pin connection. Reason                 :   Three pin connections reduce heating of connecting wires.

    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: C

    Solution :

                The metallic body of the electrical appliances is connected to the third pin which is connected to the earth. This is a safety precaution and avoids eventual electric shock. By doing this the extra charge flowing through the metallic body is passed to earth and avoid shocks. There is nothing such as reducing of the heating of connecting wires by three pin connections.
