Assertion: The tyres of aircraft's are slightly conducting.
Reason: If a conductor is connected to a ground, the extra charge induced on conductor will flow to ground.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Due to friction, the tyres of aircraft might accumulate greater amount of charge and cause fire. So these are made conducting to conduct some charge to the ground to reamain safer.
