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): There is only one neutral points on a horizontal board when a magnet is held vertically on the board.
Reason (R): At the neutral point the net magnetic field due to the magnetic and magnetic field of the earth is zero.

Answer

  1. Both A and Rare true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

There will be only one neutral point on the horizontal board. This is because field of earth magnetic field is from south to north; and the field of pole on the board is radially outwards. At any point towards south of magnetic pole, field of earth and field of pole will cancel out to give a neutral point.

Assertion: The resistivity of a semiconductor increases with temperature.
Reason: The atoms of a semiconductor vibrate with larger amplitude at higher temperatures thereby increasing its resistivity.
Assertion (A): In a hydrogen atom there is only one electron but its emission spectrum shows many lines.
Reason(R): In a given sample of hydrogen there are many atoms each containing one electron; hence many electrons in different atoms may be in different orbits so many transitions from higher to lower orbits are possible.

Assertion (A): Three equal charges are situated on a circle of radius r such that they form on equilateral triangle, then the electric field intensity at the centre is zero.
Reason (R): The force on unit positive charge at the centre, due to the three equal charges are represented by the three sides of a triangle taken in the same order. Therefore, electric field intensity at centre is zero.
Assertion (A): According to Huygen’s principle, no backward wave-front is possible.
Reason (R): Amplitude of secondary wavelet is proportional to $(1+\cos \theta)$ where $\theta$ is the angle between the ray at the point of consideration and the direction of secondary wavelet.
Assertion (A): de Broglie's wavelength of a freely falling body keeps decreasing with time.
Reason(R): The momentum of the freely falling body increases with time.
