Magnetic Effects of Electric Current

Assertion & Reason Type Questions


Directions: Each of the following questions consists of two statements, one is
Assertion (A) and the other is Reason (R). Give answer:

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

Q1. Assertion (A): Magnetic field lines do not intersect each other.

Reason (R): Magnetic field lines are imaginary lines, the tangent to which at any point
gives the direction of the field at that point.

(CBSE 2023)

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

Q2. Assertion (A): A compass needle is placed near a current carrying wire. The
deflection of the compass needle decreases when the magnitude of the current in the
wire is increases.

Reason (R): The strength of a magnetic field at a point near the conductor increases
on increasing the current.

(CBSE SQP 2023-24)

Answer : (d) Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

Q3. Assertion (A): On freely suspending a current-carrying solenoid, it comes to rest in


Geographical N-S direction.

Reason (R): One end of current-carrying straight solenoid behaves as a North pole
and the other end as a South pole, just like a bar magnet.

(CBSE SQP 2022-23)


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

Q4. Assertion (A): A solenoid tends to expand, when a current passes through it.

Reason (R): Two straight parallel metallic wires carrying current in same direction
repel each other.

Answer : (d) Solenoid tends to contract as the turns of the solenoid attract each other
when current flows through them in the same direction.

Q5. Assertion (A): A current carrying straight conductor experiences a force when
placed perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field.

Reason (R): The net charge on a current carrying conductor is always zero.

(CBSE 2023)

Answer : (b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is snot the
correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Q6. Assertion (A): In Fleming's left-hand rule, the direction of magnetic field, force and
current are mutually perpendicular.

Reason (R): Fleming's left-hand rule is applied to measure the induced current.

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

Q7. Assertion (A): A fuse in a circuit prevents damage to the appliances and the circuit
due to overloading.

Reason (R): Overloading occurs when the live wire and the neutral wire come into
direct contact.

Answer : (b) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is snot the
correct explanation of Assertion (A).

conductor, the direction of a magnetic field around the conductor is reversed.

current carrying conductor.
Answer : (a)
