Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion. (Option A)
- The electrical resistance of a conductor is dependent on the physical characteristics of the conductor which also includes the thickness or the area of the cross section of the conducting wire.
- The electrical resistance of a wire is inversely proportional with the thickness of that wire.
Which means the thick wire can easily conduct electricity than the thin wire.
- That's why the assertion and reason mentioned in the question, both are true.
