Assertion: Current is passed through a m...

Assertion: Current is passed through a metallic wire, heating it red. When cold water is poured on half of its portion, then rest of the half portion become more hot.
Reason: Resistance decreases due to decrease in tem perature and so current through wire increases.

A

If both Assertion `&` Reason are True `&` the Reason is a correct explanantion of the Assertion

B

If both Assertion `&` Reason True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion

C

If Assertion is True but the Reason is False

D

If both Assertion `&` Reason are False.

Assertion : Current is passed through a metallic wire, heating it red. Half of its portion is cooled by cold water jacket, then rest of the half portion become more hot. Reason: Resistances decreases due to decrease in temperature and so current through wire increases.

The electric current passes through a metallic wire produces heat because of :

A current is passed through a steel wire heated to red. Then half of the wire is immersed in cold water. Which half of the wire will heat up more and why?

Current is allowed to flow in a metallic wire at a constant potential difference. When the wire becomes hot, cold water is poured on half portion of the wire. By doing so, its other portion becomes still more hot. Explain its reason.
