Question
Assertion : Semiconductors do not Obey's Ohm's law.
Reason : Current is determined by the rate of flow of charge carriers.

Answer

(e) The assertion is not true. In fact, semiconductor Obeys Ohm's law for low values of electric field $(\sim 10 \cdot \mathrm{V} / \mathrm{m})$. Above this, the current becomes almost independent of electric field.

Assertion : The heat supplied to a system is always equal to the increase in its internal energy.
Reason : When a system changes from one thermal equilibrium to another, some heat is absorbed by it.
Assertion : A dish antenna is highly directional.

Assertion : The work done during a round trip is always zero.
Reason : No force is required to move a body in its round trip.
Assertion : $\ln$ the phenomenon of mutual induction, self induction of each of the coils persists.
Reason : Self induction arises when strength of current in same coil changes. In mutual induction, current is changing in both the individual coils.
