Question

16. Assertion :The resistivity of a conductor varies inversely with area of conductor.

Reason :As the length of conductor increases, current decreases.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER

As value of resistance(R) is directly proportional to length of resistance, so by increasing the length of resistance the value of resistance increases.

Statement P is correct

As value of resistance is inversely proportional to area so by increasing the area the value of resistance decreases.

So statement R is also correct.

Option c is correct answer based on above conclusions.
