Question

Assertion (A): Current is the rate of flow of charge.
Reason (R): Electric current will not flow between two charged bodies when connected, if they are at the same potential.

• A. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.
• B. A is false, but R is true.
• C. A is true, but R is false.
• D. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct reason for A.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct reason for A.

• Current is defined as the rate of flow of charge. Thus, the assertion is correct.
• Current flows from higher potential (positive terminal) to lower potential (negative terminal)till they have some potential difference.Thus, R is also correct.
• But R is not the correct explanation of A.
