Assertion : A transformer cannot work on dc supply.
Reason : dc changes neither in magnitude nor in direction.

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 reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Statement-1 : A transformer cannot work on dc supply. Statement-2 : dc changes neither in magnitude nor in direction.

Asseration: A transformer cannot work on dc supply. Reason: there is no effect of earth's magnetic field on freely falling body.

Can a transformer work on d.c. ?

Assertion (A) : A transformer does not work on DC Reason (R) : DC neither change direction nor magnitude.

Assertion : The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or direction of velocity or both. Reason : Acceleration can be produed only by change in the magnitude of the velocity.

Assertion: In projectile motion, the acceleration is constant in both magnitude and direction but the velocity changes in both magnitude and direction. Reason: When a force or accelration is acting in an oblique direction to the direction of velocity then both magnitude and direction of the velocity may be changed.

Assertion: Internal forces cannot change linear momentum. Reason: Internal forces can change the kinetic energy of a system.

Assertion : A step-up transformer changes a low voltage into a high voltage. Reason : This violate the law of conservation of energy.

Assertion : Acceleration and velocity cannot change values abruptly at an instant. Reason : Their changes can either be continuous or discontinuous.
