MCQ
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 $\ce{(a), (b), (c)}$ and $(d)$ as given below:
Assertion : In electric circuits, wires carrying currents in opposite directions are often twisted together.
Reason : If the wire are not twisted together, the combination of the wires forms a current loop. The magnetic field generated by the loop might affect adjacent circuits or components.
  • Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
    $A$ is true, but $R$ is false.
  • D
    $A$ is false, but $R$ is true.

Answer

Correct option: A.
Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
If the wires are twisted together, they can be modelled as a single wire carrying current in the opposite directions. ln this model, no magnetic field is induced in the wires which does not affect adjacent circuits.
