ASSERTION REASON QUESTIONS
In the following Questions, the Assertion and Reason have been put forward. Read the statements
carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
(a) Both the Assertion and the Reason are correct and the Reason is the correct explanation of the
Assertion.
(b) The Assertion and the Reason are correct but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the
Assertion.
(c) Assertion is true but the Reason is false.
(d) The statement of the Assertion is false but the Reason is true.
8. Assertion: Electro magnet is a temporary magnet.
Reason: A current carrying solenoid acts as a magnet.
9. Assertion: When electric current is passed through a copper wire, magnetic needle kept near to wire
shows deflection.
Reason: the electric current through copper wire has produced magnetic field.
10. Assertion (A): On changing the direction of flow of current through a straight conductor, the direction
of a magnetic field around the conductor is reversed.
Reason (R) : The direction of magnetic field around a conductor can be given in accordance with left
hand thumb rule.

22. (a) Draw magnetic field lines produced around a current carrying straight conductor passing through
cardboard. How will the strength of the magnetic field change, when the point where magnetic field is to
be determined, is moved away from the straight wire carrying constant current? Justify your answer.
(b) Two circular coils A and B are placed close to each other. If the current in the coil A is changed, will
some current be induced in the coil B? Give reason.
23. (a) Describe an activity to show with the help of a compass that magnetic field is strongest near poles of
a bar magnet.
