Assertion & Reason Type Questions


Directions: In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a
statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:

a. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct
explanation of Assertion (A).

b. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct
explanation of Assertion (A).

c. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

d. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.

Q1. Assertion (A): If an electron is not deflected while passing through a certain region
of space, then only possibility is that there is no magnetic region.

Reason (R): Force is inversely proportional to the magnetic field applied.

Answer : (d) In this case, we cannot be sure about the absence of the magnetic field
because if the electron moving parallel to the direction of magnetic field, the angle
between velocity and applied magnetic field is zero (F = 0). Then, also electron passes
without deflection. Also, F = eVBsinθ ⇒ F ∞ B.

Q2. Assertion (A): The magnetic field intensity at the centre of a circular coil carrying
current changes, if the current through the coil is doubled.

Reason (R): The magnetic field intensity is dependent on current in conductor.

Answer : (a) The magnetic field at the centre of circular coil is given by,

So, if current through coil is doubled, then magnetic field is B' = 2B. The magnetic field
also gets doubled. The magnetic field is directly proportional to the current in
conductor.

Q3. Assertion (A): Ampere's circuital law holds for steady currents which do not
fluctuate with time.

Reason (R): Ampere's circuital law is similar to that of Biot-Savart's law.


Answer : (b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the
correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Q4. Assertion (A): Magnetic field due to current carrying solenoid is independent of its
length and cross-sectional area.

Reason (R): The magnetic field inside the solenoid is uniform.

Answer : (b) Magnetic field due to a solenoid having n number of turns per metre and
carrying current / is B = μonI which is independent of the length and area of cross-
section of the solenoid.

The magnetic field inside the solenoid is uniform.

Q5. Assertion (A): The magnetic field at the ends of a very long current carrying
solenoid is half of that at the centre.

Reason (R): If the solenoid is sufficiently long, the field within it is uniform.

Answer : (b) The magnetic field of a solenoid is given by,

Q6. Assertion (A): The deflecting torque on a current carrying loop is zero when its
plane is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field.

Reason (R): The deflecting torque acting on a loop of magnetic moment m


⃗⃗⃗ in a
magnetic field B
⃗ is given by the dot product of m
⃗⃗⃗ and B
⃗.

(CBSE 2023)

Answer : (c) When a plane of loop is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic
field, the angle between the magnetic moment vector and the magnetic field vector is
90°. In this case, the vector product of the two vectors becomes maximum in
magnitude and deflecting torque becomes maximum. However, the dot product of
two vectors becomes zero.
Q7. Assertion (A): When current is represented by a straight line, the magnetic field
will be circular.

Reason (R): According to Fleming's left hand rule, direction of force is parallel to the
magnetic field.

Answer : (c) When current is straight, it means the current is passing through a
straight conductor, the magnetic field produced due to current through a straight
conductor is in the form of concentric circular magnetic lines of force whose centres
lie on the linear conductor and are in a plane perpendicular to the plane of linear
conductor. It means the magnetic field is circular.

Q8. Assertion (A): When radius of a circular loop carrying a steady current is doubled,
its magnetic moment becomes four times.

Reason (R): The magnetic moment of a circular loop carrying a steady current is
proportional to the area of the loop. (CBSE 2023)

Answer :

Q9. Assertion (A): On increasing the current sensitivity of a galvanometer by


increasing the number of turns, may not necessarily increase its voltage sensitivity.

Reason (R): The resistance of the coil of galvanometer increases on increasing the
number of turns.

Answer :
Q10. Assertion: Cyclotron is a device which is used to accelerate the positive ion.

Reason: Cyclotron frequency depends upon the velocity.

Q11. Assertion: Cyclotron does not accelerate electron.

Reason: Mass of the electrons is very small.

Q12. Assertion: In electric circuits, wires carrying currents in opposite directions


are often twisted together
Reason: If the wires are not twisted together, the combination of the wires forms a
current loop, the magnetic field generated by the loop might affect adjacent circuits
or components.

13. Assertion: The magnetic field produced by a current carrying solenoid is


independent of its length and cross-sectional area.
Reason: The magnetic field inside the solenoid is uniform.

Q14. Assertion: A charge, whether stationary or in motion produces a magnetic


field around it.
Reason: Moving charges produce only electric field in the surrounding space.
Q15. Assertion: A proton and an alpha particle having the same kinetic energy are
moving in circular paths in a uniform magnetic field. The radii of their circular paths
will be equal.
Reason: Any two charged particles having equal kinetic energies and entering a
region of uniform magnetic field B in a direction perpendicular to B, will describe
circular trajectories of equal radii.

Q16. Assertion: If the current in a solenoid is reversed in direction while


keeping the same magnitude, the magnetic field energy stored in the solenoid
remains unchanged.
Reason: Magnetic field energy density is proportional to the magnetic field.
Q17. Assertion: The magnetic field at the centre of the circular coil in the following
figure due to the currents I1 and I2 is zero.
Reason: I1 = I2 implies that the fields due to the current I1 and I2 will be balanced.

Q18. Assertion: If the current in a solenoid is reversed in direction while keeping the
same magnitude, the magnetic field energy stored in the solenoid decreases.
Reason: Magnetic field energy density is proportional to square of current.
Q19. Assertion: Free electrons always keep on moving in a conductor even then no
magnetic force act on them in magnetic field unless a current is passed through it.
Reason: The average velocity of free electron is zero.

Q20. Assertion: To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter a small resistance is


connected in parallel with it.
Reason: The small resistance increases the combined resistance of the combination.
