2. Assertion: The resistance of a given mass of copper wire is inversely proportional to the square of length.
Reason: When a copper wire of given mass is stretched to increase its length, its cross-sectional area also
decreases.
4. Assertion: A fuse used in electric circuit has high resistance and low melting point.
Reason: During the flow of any unduly high electric current the fuse wire melts and protects the circuits and
appliances
