NEET Physics Friction Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11

Assertion (A): Kinetic friction is generally less than static friction. | Reason (R): Kinetic friction is independent of the area of contact between surfaces.

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, but R is true.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Kinetic friction being less than static friction is due to the nature of forces involved, not because it is independent of the area of contact. Both statements are true but unrelated.
