Assertion: Though large number of free ...

Assertion: Though large number of free electron are present in the metal, yet there is no current in the absent of electric field.
Reason: In the absence of electric field, electrons move randomly in all directions

A

Statement I is true, Statement II is True, Statement II is a correct explanation for statement I.

B

Statement I is true, Statement II is True, Statement II is Not a correct explanation for statement I.

C

Statement I is True, Statement II is False.

D

Statement I is False, Statement II is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Free electrons present in the metal are moving randomly in all directions in absence of the electric field. Hence, the average velocity of electrons is zero. Because of it the current does not flow in the metal in the absence of electric field.
