NEET Physics Resistance & Resistivity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Transmission wires carry current at high voltage to reduce power loss. | Reason (R): The power wasted in connecting wires is inversely proportional to the square of the voltage.
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
The assertion and reason are both true and the reason correctly explains the assertion. The high voltage reduces power loss as power wasted is inversely proportional to the square of the voltage.
