Assertion: The bending of an insulated wire increase the resistance of wire
Reason : The drift velocity of electron in this wire decreases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Bending will not increase the resistance of the conducting wire. Also drift velocity of electron is independent of bending of conductor.

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

Assertion : A wire of uniform cross-section and uniform resistivity is connected across an ideal cell. Now the length or wire is doubled keeping volume of wire constant. The drift velocity of electrons after stretching the wire becomes one fourth of what it was before streching the wire. Reason: If a wire (or uniform resistivity and uniform cross-section) of length l_(0) is stretched by a factor n, then its resistance becomes n^(2) times the one before stretching the wire (the volume of wire is kept constant in stretching process.) Fruther at constant potential difference, current is inversely proportional to resistance. Drift velocity of free electron is directly proportional to current and inversely proportional to cross-sectional area of current carrying wire.

Two different wires X and Y of same diameter but different materials are joined in series across a battery. If the number density of electrons in X is twice that in Y, find the ratio of drift velocity of electrons in the two wires .
