Assertion: We prefer a potentiometer with a longer bridge wire. Reason : By doing this, the sensitivity of the bridge is increased because for longer wire potential drop per unit length will be small.

Assertion : Two wires A and B have the same cross-sectional area and are made of the same material but the length of wire A is twice that of B. For a given load, the strain in wire A is twice that in B. Reason : For a given load, the extension in a wire is prportional to its length.
