NEET Physics Resistance & Resistivity Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area.
Reason (R): Resistivity is a property of the material and depends on temperature and pressure.
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
While both statements are true, resistivity being a property dependent on temperature and pressure does not explain why resistance is proportional to length and inversely proportional to area.
