Question

Assertion (A): Electrons move from lower potential to higher potential in a conductor. Reason (R): A dry cell maintains electric potential difference across the ends of a conductor.

• A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
• B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
• C. Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
• D. Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Answer 2

Electrons flow from high to low potential. While a dry cell maintains electric potential difference, it does not fully explain the assertion. Thus, both are true but unrelated.
