Assertion : In a simple battery circuit, the point of the lowest potential is positive terminal of the battery. Reason : The current flows towards the point of the higher potential, as it does in such a circuit from the negative to the positive terminal.

Options

  1. AIf both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a correct explanation of the assertion.
  2. BIf both assertion and reason are true but assertion is not a correct explanation of the assertion.
  3. CIf the assertion is true but the reason is false.
  4. DIf both assertion and reason are false.

Correct answer

D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Step-by-step solution

In a battery circuit, the point of lowest potential is the negative terminal of the battery. And the current flows from higher potential to lower potential.
