MCQ
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:
Assertion: Electron has a negative charge.
Reason: Electrons move always from a region of higher potential to a region of lower potential.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • ✓
    $A$ is true, but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false, but $R$ is true.
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
$A$ is true, but $R$ is false.


Suppose $A$ and $B$ are two regions having potentials $V _1$ and $V _2$ such that $V _1> V _2$ So the electric current will flow from $A$ to $B ($i.e., from higher potential to lower potential$)$. Since electrons move opposite to the direction of current, hence, the electrons move from a region of lower potential to a region of higher potential.
