Answer

assertion is true but reason is false.

Explanation

Assertion (A) is true. Same current flows through the live wires and the filament of a bulb, but the heat produced in the filament is much higher. This is due to the higher resistance of the filament compared to the live wires, leading to greater heat generation in the filament.

Reason (R) is false. The filament of a bulb is not made of a material with low resistance. In fact, the filament is specifically designed to have a relatively high resistance. This high resistance allows it to produce light efficiently by converting electrical energy into heat and then into light.
