Assertion (A): Fuse wire has high resistance and low melting point. Reason (R): It must melt to break circuit on overload. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Assertion (A): Fuse wire has high resistance and low melting point. Reason (R): It must melt to break circuit on overload.
A. A false, R true
B. Both A and R true, R correct explanation
C. A true, R false
D. Both A and R true, R not correct explanation
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
High resistance produces more heat (I²R), low melting point ensures quick melting. Both true and R explains A.

Question #1 Report Error
If three resistors of 2 Ω, 3 Ω, and 6 Ω are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance of the combination is:
A. 0.5 Ω
B. 2 Ω
C. 11 Ω
D. 1 Ω

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
For resistors in parallel, the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance (1/Rp) is the sum of the reciprocals of individual resistances. 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6. Finding a common denominator (6): 1/Rp = 3/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 = 1. Therefore, Rp = 1 Ω.
