The question given below consist of an assertion (A) and a reason ( R). Use the following key to choose the appropriate answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), ( c) and (d) given below: (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. (b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A. (c) A is true but R is false. (d) A is false and R is also false. Assertion: In a step down transformer, thick wire in secondary is used to reduced the production of heat. Reason: Magnitude of induced emf is maximum, when plane of the armature is parallel to the lines of force of magnetic field.
