Question 5 Assertion (A): In a simple battery circuit the point of lowest potential is positive terminal of the battery. Reason (R): The current flows towards the point of the lower potential as it flows in such a circuit from the positive to the negative terminal. In a battery, the point of lowest potential is the negative terminal. In a circuit, current always flows from higher potential to lower potential i.e., from the positive terminal of the battery to its negative terminal. Thus, Assertion is false. Reasoning is false. So, the correct answer is (d).
