ASSERTION REASON QUESTIONS
In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of
Reason(R). Mark the correct choice as:
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
b) Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
c) A is true but R is false.
d) A is false but R is true.
1. Assertion (A): When the direction of velocity of moving charge is perpendicular
to the magnetic field, it experiences a maximum force.
Reason (R): Force on the moving charge does not depends on the direction
magnetic field in which it moves.
2. Assertion (A): Steel core is used as an electromagnet.
Reason (R): Steel gets permanently magnetized when the current flows through
the coil wound around.
3. Assertion (A): It is fatal to touch a live electric wire as the person gets a severe
electric shock. In some cases, electric shock can even kill a person.
Reason (R): The electric current passes through the body to the earth forming a
circuit and burns the blood.
4. 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 a magnetic field around the conductor can be given
in accordance with left hand thumb rule.
