8. Copper is preferred material for making wires because of it is a good __________.

Assertion and reason

In the following questions a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement


of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true. And (R) is correct explanation for
(A).
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true. But (R) is not the correct explanation
for (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true, but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false, but reason (R) is true.

9. Assertion: When the length of the wire is doubled keeping the area of cross
section constant, then its resistance also gets doubled.
Reason: The resistance of the wire is directly proportion to its length.

10. Assertion: Wire A is thin in comparison to wire B of same material having same
length, and then the resistance of wire A is greater than the resistance of wire B.
Reason: Resistance is directly proportional to the area of cross section.
