Question:

Assertion (A) : A circular wire has resistance R. Then its resistance between two diametrically opposite points will be R/4.

Reason (R) : The two semicircular portions each form a parallel combination.

Options:

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

 

Both (A) and (R) are true but(R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).

 

(A) is true but (R) is false.

 

Both (A) and (R) are false.

Correct Answer:

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

 

Explanation:

A circular wire has resistance R. Then its resistance between two diametrically opposite points will be R/4 because the two semicircular portions each form a parallel combination.
