Assertion and Reason Questions

for Class 10 Chapter 13 Electro


Magnetism

Following questions consist of two statements – Assertion (A) and Reason (R). Answer
these questions selecting the appropriate option given below:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

Q.1. Assertion(A): On changing the direction of flow of current through a straight conductor,
the direction of a magnetic field around the conductor is reversed.
Reason (R) : The direction of magnetic field around a conductor can be given in accordance
with left hand thumb rule.

Answer(c)

Q.2. Assertion(A): The magnitude of the magnetic field at a point on the axis of a current
carrying solenoid is inversely proportional to the current flowing through the solenoid.
Reason (R) : The magnitude of the magnetic field at a point on the axis of a current carrying
solenoid is directly proportional to the number of turns per unit length of a solenoid.

Answer(d)

Q.3. Assertion(A): A compass needle is placed near a current carrying wire. The deflection
of the compass needle decreases when the magnitude of an electric current in the wire is
increased.
Reason (R) : Strength of a magnetic field at a point near the conductor increases on
increasing the current.

Answer(d)

Q.4. Assertion(A) : A compass needle is placed near a current carrying wire. The deflection
of the compass needle decreases when the compass needle is displaced away from the wire.
Reason (R) : Strength of a magnetic field decreases as one moves away from a current
carrying conductor.

direction just like a bar magnet.
Reason (R) : One end of current carrying straight solenoid behaves as a North pole and the
other end as a South pole.
