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 : 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.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • ✓
    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: B.
Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
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.
