Assertion: Pressure is scalar. Reason: Pressure acts equally in all directions at a point.
A. Both true, R doesn't explain A
B. Both true, R explains A
C. A true, R false
D. A false, R true
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Pressure is scalar (no direction), though force is vector. Reason: Pascal's law - fluid pressure transmits equally in all directions, confirming scalar nature. Memory aid: 'Pressure = force/area (scalar division); isotropic in fluids'. Assertion-reason testing fluid mechanics fundamentals, common in competitive exams.
Explanation:
By definition, the electric potential difference between two points in an electric field is the amount of external work required to move a unit positive charge (1 Coulomb) slowly and without acceleration from one point to the other against the electrostatic force. The SI unit of potential difference is the Volt (Joules/Coulomb).
