Question
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 (A): A clinic lines on the magnetic map represents lines of equal dip.
Reason (R): When the horizontal and vertical components of the earth's magnetic field are equal, the angle of dip is 60º.

Answer

  1. A is false and R is also false.

Explanation:

The angle of dip is the angle between the axis of the dip needle in the magnetic meridian and the horizontal direction.

$\tan\theta=\frac{\text{Vertical component of the earth's magnetic field}}{\text{Horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field}}$

$=\frac{\text{B}_\text{V}}{\text{B}_\text{H}}$ When, $\text{B}_\text{V}=\text{B}_\text{H},\tan\theta=1\Rightarrow\theta=45^\circ$

Lines joining points of zero dip are called Aclinic lines. Lines joining points of equal dip are called isoclinic lines.

Assertion: Two electric bulbs of 50 and 100 watt are given. When connected in series 50 watt bulb glows more but when connected in parallel 100 watt bulb glows more.
Reason: In series combination, power is directly proportional to the resistance of circuit. But in parallel combination, power is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.

Assertion: An electric heater is heated first by direct and then by alternating currents. For both the currents, the potential difference across the ends of the heater is the same. The rate of production of heat will be different in two cases.
Reason: The resistance of a coil in altemating current will be more than the resistance of a coil in direct current, hence heat produced in case of direct current will be low.
