For two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below:
  1. Both A and R are true, and R is correct explanation of the assertion.
  2. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  3. A is true, but R is false.
  4. A is false, but R is true.
Assertion: When two long parallel wires, hanging freely are connected in parallel to a battery, they come closer to each other.
Reason: Wires carrying current in opposite directions repel each other.
✓

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Explanation:

The wires are parallel to each other but the direction of current in it is in same direction, so they attract each other. If the current in the wires is in opposite directions, then wires repel each other. When the currents are in opposite directions, the magnetic forces are reversed and the wires repels each other.

Assertion (A): The refractive index of diamond is $\sqrt{6}$ and refractive index of liquid is $\sqrt{3}$. If the light travels from the diamond to the liquid, it will initially be reflected when the angle of incidence is $30^{\circ}$.
Reason (R): $\mu=\frac{1}{\sin C}$, where $\mu$ is the refractive index of diamond with respect to liquid.

Assertion: Magnetic field lines show the direction (at every point) along which a small magnetised needle aligns (at the point).
Reason: Magnetic field lines certainly represent the direction of magnetic field, but not the direction of force, this is because force is always perpendicular to magnetic field B.
