Assertion : In a simple battery circuit ...

Assertion : In a simple battery circuit the point of lowest potential is positive terminal of the battery.
Reason : The current flows towards the point of the higher potential as it flows in such a circuit from the negative the positive terminal.

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
