Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion. A planar current carrying circular loop behaves as a bar magnet (or a magnetic dipole) at large distances from the loop as shown in the figure. Hence, their magnetic field at large distances is same.
