MCQ 11 Mark
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.

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.

  • $A$ is false, but $R$ is true.
Answer
Correct option: D.
$A$ is false, but $R$ is true.
When a charged particle moves perpendicular to magnetic field, it experiences a force which changes the direction of motion of the particle without changing the magnitude of velocity of the particle. Hence, kinetic energy remains constant but momentum of electron changes.

  • D
    If Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
Answer
Correct option: B.
If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
The phenomenon of generation of an electric current in a closed circuit from magnetic effects $1$ .e. by changing the magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction. The potential difference set in the circuit due to induced current is called induced emf.
It can be used to determine the direction of current in a generator's windings. When a conductor such as a wire attached to a circuit moves through a magnetic field, an electric current is induced in the wire due to Faraday's law of induction. Fleming's right $-$ hand rule gives which direction the current flows.

Answer
Correct option: D.
$A$ is false, but $R$ is true.
When current flows through a solenoid, the currents in the various turns of the solenoid are parallel and in the same direction. Since the currents flowing through parallel wires in the same direction lead to a force of attraction between them, the turns of the solenoid will also attract each other and as a result, the solenoid tends to contract.

Answer
Correct option: B.
If both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
The two parts $S_1$ and $S_2$ of the split ring are used to act as a commutator to reverse the direction of current in the coil, so they are called the split ring commutator. So, slip rings are used with simple $a.c.$ generators, whereas a commutator is used with $d.c.$ motors.
