Solution
The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect, but Reason is correct
The assertion is clearly incorrect,
As we know that,
Magnetic field at the centre of a current carrying loop is,
=μ0I2R
But the reason stated is correct,
We can observe that any two diametrically opposite elements
give the same direction of magnetic field at centre.
