Question

Assertion (A): One circuit with 15 A current rating is used for appliances such as geysers and air coolers. 

Reason (R): Appliances with metallic body are connected to an earth wire with low resistance.

Answer these questions by selecting the appropriate option given below:

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

(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(c) A is true but R is false.

(d) A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Explanation: Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A). The current rating of a circuit is determined by the amount of current that the wires and other components in the circuit can safely handle. It is not determined by the type of appliances that are connected to the circuit.
