JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       Electric conduction in gases is possible at normal pressure. Reason                 :       The electric conduction in gases depends only upon the potential difference between the electrodes.

    A)             If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

    B)             If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

    C)             If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D)             If the assertion and reason both are false.

    E)             If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                At normal pressure positive ions and electrons liberated by ionisation of gas atoms, due to cosmic rays are very small in number and they collide constantly with the gas atoms which are present in large numbers, and hence are unable to move a long distance under the electric field and soon get recombined i.e., flow of ions in the gas does not take place.
