Physics-Resistance & Resistivity

NEET Physics Resistance & Resistivity Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 12

Assertion (A): The resistivity of a platinum wire increases with an increase in temperature. | Reason (R): The resistance of a platinum wire at the steam point is higher than at the ice point.

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

The NCERT context mentions that the resistance of platinum increases from 5 W at the ice point to 5.23 W at the steam point, showing a temperature dependence of resistivity.
