Assertion : In a simple battery circuit ...

Assertion : In a simple battery circuit the point of lowest potential is positive terminal of the battery.
Reason : The current flows towards the point of the higher potential as it flows in such a circuit from the negative the positive terminal.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explanation of the assertion.

B

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

C

If the assertion and reason are false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) It is quite clear that in a battery circuit, the point of lowest potential is the negative terminal of the battery and the current flows from higher potential to power potential.
