Question
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 the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion (A): The ends of a magnet suspended freely point out always along north south.
Reason (R): Earth behaves as a huge magnet.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:

Earth's magnetic field can be represented as the field of a huge bar magnet. If the magnet is freely suspended its north-pole points towards geographic north pole (really a south magnet pole of earth)
