Q.

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.

1 Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.  
2 Both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.  
3 Assertion is true, but reason is false.  
4 Assertion is false, but reason is true.  

Ans.

(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.

VI only if VI =constant

Thus, assertion is true, but reason is false.
