Assertion: a four-wire connection is used for a resistance thermometer. Reason: the resistance of long leads would otherwise be indistinguishable from that of the element.

  • 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

The element changes by a fraction of an ohm per degree, so a few ohms of lead resistance would represent a large temperature error. Separate current and potential leads exclude it entirely, which is exactly the reason for the arrangement.
