EASY
IMPORTANT

Assertion: In series combination of electrical bulbs of lower power emits more light than that of higher power bulb.

Reason: The lower power bulb in series gets more current than the higher power bulb.

EASY
IMPORTANT

Assertion: When cells are connected in parallel to the external load, the effective e.m.f increases.

Reason: Because the effective internal resistance of the cells decreases.
