Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 31
Assertion : Ammeter measures current more accurately than voltmeter. Reason : Relative error will be small if measured from ammeter.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Voltameter measures current indirectly in terms of mass of ions deposited and electrochemical equivalent of the substance $ ( I=\frac{m}{Zt} ). $ Since value of m and Z are measured to 3rd decimal place and 5,th decimal place respectively. The relative error in the measurement of current by voltmeter will be very small as compared to that when measured by ammeter directly.
