Question
Assertion : In practical application, power rating of resistance is not important.
Reason : Property of resistance remain same even at high temperature.

Answer

(d) Because of heat production every resistance has a maximum power rating, the maximum power that can be dissipated without overheating the device. When this rating is exceeded, heat is produced, due to which resistance may change unpredictably.
