Question

Assertion (A): When a battery is short circuited, the terminal voltage is zero.

Reason(R): In short circuit, the current is zero.

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

(c) A is true but R is false.

(d) A is false but R is true.

(e) Both A and R are false.​

Answer 1

Answer:

When a short circuit happens the only resistance that is present in the circuit will be internal resistance of a battery. ... Since external resistance is zero the voltage across the terminals of the battery also will be zero. So the assertion is correct and the reason is not correct. So, the correct answer is “Option C”

Explanation:

OPTION C
