Question

Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the options given below:
Assertion : The electrical conductivity of earth's atmosphere decreases with altitude.
Reason : The high energy particles (i.e. g-rays and cosmic rays) coming from outer space and entering our earth's atmosphere cause ionisation of the atoms of the gases present there and the pressure of gases decreases with increase in altitude.
(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.

Solution

The correct option is E e

The electrical conductivity of earth's atmosphere increases with height so assertion is false.

When high energy particles enters in earth's atmosphere. They ionises the gases present in atmosphere. Also as we go up, the air thins out gradually and air pressure decreases.
