Assertion: The probability of an electric bulb fusing is higher at the time of switching `ON` and `OFF`.
Reason: Inductive effects produce a surge at the time of switch `OFF` and switch `ON`.

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:
A
(a) The possiblity of an electric bulb fusing is higher at the time of switching `ON` and switching `OFF` because inductive effect produes a surge at the time of switching `ON` and `OFF`.
