Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
We have a relation for a conductor carrying current.
H=I2RT
I; current passing through the wire
R; the resistance of the wire
T; time
H; Heat (which causes due to rising in temperature)
Due to resistance which resists the motion of electrons. The electron bump into atoms on the outside of the wire. Some of their kinetic energy is given to the atoms as thermal energy. This thermal energy of atoms produces heat.
