Question
Assertion (A): A compass is kept near a wire carrying current gets deflected
Reason (R): Electric current is capable of producing a magnetic effect.

Answer

(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Here while carrying out an experiment if a compass needle is placed near a wire carrying current then due to the
effect of magnetism which is produced due to electric current produced in the wire the needle gets deflected. Which shows that
the magnetism and electricity are interlinked. So, both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
