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

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not correct explanation of the assertion.
Explanation : during take off and landing, the friction between tyres and the run way may cause electrification of tyres. Due to conducting to a ground and election sparking is avoided.

  • Assertion : Increase in temperature, decreases conductance Reason : This is due to the increase in the attractive forces between the oppositely charged ions

    A
    (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
    B
    Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not explain (A)
    C
    (A) is true but (R) is false
    D
    Both (A) and (R) are false

  • Assertion (A) : Strong electrolytes have low molar conductivity at high concentration. Reason (R) : For a strong electrolyte, at high concentration, the number of constituent ions of the electrolyte is high and hence the attractive force between the oppositely charged ions is also high.

    A
    Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
    B
    Both A and R are wrong
    C
    A is correct but R is wrong
