Understanding +4 | -1

Assertion: In our houses when we start switching on different light buttons, main current goes on increasing.

Reason: Different connections in houses are in parallel. When we start switching on different light buttons, then net resistance of the circuit decreases. Therefore, main current increases.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

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

Option A (If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because parallel connections decrease net resistance, increasing current.
