Assertion: a small anode with a large cathode gives severe galvanic corrosion. Reason: the whole corrosion current is concentrated on a small area.

  • A.the assertion is false although the reason offered is a true statement in itself
  • B.both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason explains the assertion
  • C.both the assertion and the reason are true but the reason does not explain the assertion
  • D.the assertion is true but the reason given for it is false

Answer: B

Penetration rate follows current density rather than total current, so the same current on a tenth of the area does ten times the local damage. It is why steel fasteners in a copper assembly fail so much faster than the reverse arrangement.
