NEET Physics Bernoulli's Principle Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a streamline flow of an incompressible fluid through a pipe, the pressure at a point decreases if the velocity at that point increases.
Reason (R): According to Bernoulli's principle, the sum of pressure energy, kinetic energy per unit volume, and potential energy per unit volume is constant for a steady flow of an incompressible fluid.
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
Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in fluid velocity leads to a decrease in pressure, as the sum of pressure energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy remains constant.
