Question:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: An electric fan continues to rotate for some time after the current is switched off.
Reason R: Fan continuous to rotate due to inertia of motion.
In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A. 
  • Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  • is not correct but R is correct. 
  • A is correct but R is not correct.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The assertion A is correct because an electric fan continues to rotate for some time after the current is switched off. This is due to inertia of motion, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. Even after the current is switched off, the fan blades continue to rotate for a while.
The reason R is also correct because the fan continues to rotate due to inertia of motion. Inertia is the property of mass due to which an object continues to move until an external force acts upon it to stop the motion.
Thus, both Assertion A and Reason R are correct, and Reason R correctly explains Assertion A.
