Assertion : If the length of the conductor is doubled, the drift velocity will become half of the original value (keeping potential difference unchanged). Reason : At constant potential difference, drift velocity is inversely proportional to the length of the conductor.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true 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
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
Drift velocity of free electron is given by v_d= e E m Here, E= V l v_d= e V m l or v_d 1 l ( e V m . is constant )
