Which of the following assumptions has been used to obtain the relation for a transformer ?
Assertion (A): Electrostatic force is a conservative force. Reason (R): In an electrostatic field, the work done between two points per unit positive charge depends on the path followed.
Select the correct option:
Assertion (A): The image of an object placed between and from a convex lens can be seen on a screen. If the screen is removed, image is not formed. Reason (R): Rays from a given point on the object placed between and , after passing through a convex lens, do not converge on a point in space.
Select the correct option:
Assertion (A): In process of photoelectric emission using a monochromatic light, all emitted electrons do not have the same kinetic energy. Reason (R): If radiation falling on a photosensitive surface consists of different wavelengths, the energy of emitted photoelectrons by absorbing photons of different wavelengths, shall be different.
Select the correct option:
Assertion (A): The electrical conductivity of a pure Ge crystal increases with increase in its temperature. Reason (R): The number of electrons excited by thermal excitation from the valence band to the conduction band, in a semiconductor, increases with increase in temperature.
