Assertion : A string has a mass . If it is accelerated tension is non-uniform and if it is not accelerated tension is uniform.
Reason : Tension force is an electromagnetic force.
Options
- AIf both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
- BIf both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- CIf Assertion is true but Reason is false
- DIf both Assertion and Reason are false
Correct answer
D. If both Assertion and Reason are false
Step-by-step solution
Why assertion is false
- Even when the string is not accelerating as a whole, tension in a string with its own mass is generally non-uniform because different elements must support different portions of the string's weight or transmit different internal forces; only an ideal massless string has uniform tension.
Why reason is false
- Describing tension as an "electromagnetic force" is inaccurate in this context; tension is a contact force arising from internal stresses in the material and is not classified as a fundamental electromagnetic force in mechanics treatments.
