Question

Assertion :During storms, communication may be disrupted, and electrical discharges may be seen between sharp points on signalling equipment that is inadequately earthed. Reason: Atmospheric electricity often has an effect on electrical communications.
  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
  3. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
  4. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect

A
Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
B
Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
C
Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
D
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Solution
Verified by Toppr

For inadequately earthed signaling equipment, they do not provide safe and low resistance path for the atmospheric electricity to pass to the ground. SO the atmospheric charges reach the ground through that equipment itself, thus releasing sparks (electrical discharges).
