Physics-Ohm's Law

NEET Physics Ohm's Law Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): A linear V-I curve implies that the resistance is constant for a conductor. | Reason (R): The resistivity of a material is independent of the magnitude and direction of the applied electric field.

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 A

Detailed Explanation

A linear V-I curve indicates that resistance is constant as per Ohm's Law. The resistivity being independent of the electric field supports this by ensuring the linear behavior of I-V characteristics.
