Assertion : Ohm's law is applicable for all conducting elements. Reason : Ohm's law is a fundamental law.
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
D. If both assertion and reason are false.
Step-by-step solution
Both the assertion and reason are false. Ohms law is obeyed by metals for a certain range of temperature, not obeyed by superconductors, valves, diodes and semiconductors. It is not a universal law but it is purely empirical.
