Assertion: Electric current flowing through a metallic wire is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends.
Reason: Ohm’s law expression V=IR, where R (resistance) of the wire is always varying.
(3)
Ohm’s law states that the electric current flowing through a metallic wire is directly proportional to the potential difference across its two ends. The expression is:
V=IR
Here, R (resistance of the wire) is constant value, then only the statement will be valid.
Thus, assertion is true, but reason is false.
