Assertion : When the speed of an electron increases its specific charge decreases.
Reason : Specific charge is the ratio of the change to mass.

A

If both assertion and reason are ture and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason both are false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
2

Charge does not change with speed but mass varies with the speed as per relation `m=(m_(0))/(sqrt(1-(v^(2))/(c^(2))))`
Hence specific charge e/m decreases with increase in speed.
