Assertion-Reason Questions - Units and Measurements

Assertion-Reason Questions with Explanations

1. Assertion (A): Work and torque have the same dimensional formula.

Reason (R): Both are the product of force and displacement.

Answer: B

Explanation: Both have the dimensional formula [ML2T-2], but torque is a vector while work is a scalar. So,

the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

2. Assertion (A): The ratio of any two quantities having the same dimensions is dimensionless.

Reason (R): Dimensionless quantities always have physical significance.

Answer: C

Explanation: The assertion is true, but the reason is not always true. Dimensionless quantities may not

always have physical significance (e.g., numerical constants).

3. Assertion (A): The dimension of momentum is the same as that of impulse.

Reason (R): Impulse is the change in momentum.

Answer: A

Explanation: Both momentum and impulse have the same dimensions [MLT-1], and the reason correctly

explains the assertion.

4. Assertion (A): Strain is dimensionless.

Reason (R): Strain is the ratio of two similar physical quantities.

Answer: A

Explanation: Strain = DeltaL / L, a ratio of two lengths. Thus, it is dimensionless and the reason correctly

explains the assertion.

5. Assertion (A): The unit of electric field is NC-1, which has the same dimensions as Vm-1.

Reason (R): 1 N/C = 1 V/m.

Answer: A

Explanation: Both units represent the same physical quantity, and the reason correctly supports the

assertion.
