Physics-Pascal's Law

NEET Physics Pascal's Law Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11

Assertion (A): Pascal's Law states that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every part of the fluid. | Reason (R): The viscosity of a fluid affects the transmission of pressure as described by Pascal's Law.

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.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Pascal's Law relates to the uniform transmission of pressure in a fluid, which is independent of viscosity. The NCERT context does not link viscosity with pressure transmission as per Pascal's Law.
