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: Two bulbs of same wattage, one having a carbon filament and the other having a metallic filament are connected in series. Metallic bulbs will glow more brightly than carbon filament bulb.
Reason: Carbon is a semiconductor.
✓

Answer

  1. A is false, and R is also false.

Explanation:

When two bulbs are connected in series, the resistance of the circuit increases and so the voltage in each decreases, hence the brightness and the temperature also decreases. Due to decrease in temperature, the resistance of the carbon filament will slightly increase while that of metal filament will decrease. Hence, carbon filament bulb will glow more brightly (P = i2R). Also, carbon is not a semiconductor.
