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): The earth's magnetic field is due to iron present in its core.
Reason (R): At a low temperature magnet losses its magnetic property or magnetism.

Answer

  1. A is false and R is also false.

Explanation:

The temperature inside the earth is so high that it is impossible for iron core to behave as a magnet and act as a source of magnetic field. The magnetic field of earth is considered to be due to circulating electric current in the iron (in molten state) and other conducting materials inside the earth.

Assertion: ln a chain of bulbs, 50 bulbs are joined in series. One bulb is removed now the circuit is again completed. If the remaining 49 bulbs are again connected in series across the same supply, then light gets decreased in the room.
Reason: The resistance of 49 bulbs will be more than 50 bulbs.

Assertion: The temperature coefficient of resistance is always positive only for metals.
Reason: On increasing the temperature, the resistance of metals and alloys increases.
Assertion (A): In the process of photoelectric emission, all emitted electrons have the same kinetic energy.
Reason (R): According to Einstein's equation $E_k=h v-\phi_0$.
Assertion (A): The photoelectrons produced by a monochromatic light beam incident on a metal surface have a spread in their kinetic energies.
Reason (R): The energy of electrons emitted from inside the metal surface, is lost in collision with the other atoms in the metal.
Assertion (A): In Young’s double-slit experiment if wavelength of incident monochromatic light is just doubled, number of bright fringe on the screen will increase.
Reason (R): Maximum number of bright fringe on the screen is inversely proportional to the wavelength of light used.
Assertion (A): Positive charge always moves from a higher potential point to a lower potential point. 
Reason (R): Electric potential is a vector quantity.
Assertion (A): The dc and ac both can be measured by a hot wire instrument.
Reason (R): The hot wire instrument is based on the principle of magnetic effect of current.
Assertion (A):  An alternating current of frequency 50 Hz becomes zero, 100 times in one second. 
Reason (R): Alternating current changes direction and becomes zero twice in a cycle.
