Question
For two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
  1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true, but R is false.
  4. A is false, and R is also false.
Assertion: The temperature coefficient of resistance is always positive only for metals.
Reason: On increasing the temperature, the resistance of metals and alloys increases.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

The value of temperature coefficient of resistance is positive only for metals and alloys and is negative for semiconductors and insulators.
