JEE Main 2022 · 29 Jul · Shift 2, Physics question 34

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A: Alloys such as constantan and manganin are used in making standard resistance coils.

Reason R: Constantan and manganin have very small value of temperature coefficient of resistance.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: A

Standard resistors must not drift with temperature; constantan and manganin have very small temperature coefficients (and high resistivity). R explains A.

(A)
