Question

Assertion: A switch will serve the purpose of making and breaking a circuit when it is connected to the neutral wire.

Reason: Neutral wire is at zero potential.

विकल्प

• Both Assertion and Reason are true, and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

• Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

• Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

• Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Answer 1

Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

Explanation:

A switch connected in the neutral wire can break the circuit and stop the current, but for safety a switch must always be placed in the live wire. The neutral wire is at zero potential, so the Reason is true, but it does not explain why the switch works.
