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             :       The electric bulbs glows immediately when switch is on. Reason                 :   The drift velocity of electrons in a metallic wire is very high.

    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 :

                In a conductor there are large number of free electrons. When we close the circuit, the electric field is established instantly with the speed of electromagnetic wave which cause electron drift at every portion of the circuit. Due to which the current is set up in the entire circuit instantly. The current which is set up does not wait for the electrons flow from one end of the conductor to the another end. It is due to this reason, the electric bulb glows immediately when switch is on.
