Assertion : In a simple battery circuit,the point of the lowest potential is the negative terminal of the battery.
Reason : The current flows towards the point of the higher potential,as it does in such a circuit from the negative to the positive terminal.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct,but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • C

An electric toaster uses nichrome for its heating element. When a negligibly small current passes through it,its resistance at room temperature $(27.0^{\circ} C)$ is found to be $75.3\; \Omega$. When the toaster is connected to a $230\; V$ supply,the current settles,after a few seconds,to a steady value of $2.68\; A$. What is the steady temperature (in $^{\circ} C$) of the nichrome element? The temperature coefficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved is $1.70 \times 10^{-4}\; ^{\circ} C^{-1}$.
