Statement I: Heater wire must have high resistance than connecting wires and high netallic point.
Statement II : If resistance is high , the electrical conductivity will be less.

A

Statement I is True , Statement II is True , Statement II is a correct explanation for Statement I.

B

Statement I is True, Statement II is True , Statement II is NOT a correct explanation for statement I.

C

Statement I is True , Statement is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Heater wire must have high resistance than connecting wires so that most of the potential drops across the heater wire. Because in series the more the resistances , the more the potential difference . Obviously , it should have high melting point.
