NEET Chemistry Conductance Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The electrical resistance of an object is inversely proportional to its area of cross-section.
Reason (R): The resistivity of a material determines how easily it allows electricity to pass through it.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both statements are true, but the reason (R) does not explain the assertion (A) directly. The assertion relates to the relationship between resistance and area, whereas the reason discusses resistivity.
