NEET Physics Pascal's Law Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In a fluid at rest, the pressure is the same at all points on the same horizontal plane. | Reason (R): Pascal's law states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container.
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
Pascal's law deals with pressure transmission in a fluid, while the assertion specifically refers to pressure uniformity on a horizontal plane in a fluid at rest. R does not explain A.
