NEET Physics Resistance & Resistivity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Increasing the voltage on transmission cables reduces power loss in the connecting wires.
Reason (R): Power loss 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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The NCERT context explains that power loss is inversely proportional to the square of the voltage (V^2), which justifies the assertion and reason.
