Assertion : In the following circuit the potential drop across the resistance is zero.

Reason : The given resistance has low value.

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.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Potential difference across the resistance is zero, because diode is in reverse biasing hence no current flows.
