Understanding +4 | -1

Assertion: When the length of a conductor is doubled; its resistance will also get doubled.

Reason: Resistance is directly proportional to the length of a conductor.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

Option A is correct because both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains why the resistance doubles when the length doubles.
