Question

Given below are two statements labelled as Assertion (A) and Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Two long parallel conductors which are carrying current in same direction, repel each other.

Reason (R) : The magnetic field in the region between the conductors, due to each conductor, is in the same direction.

Select the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

​​​​​​​$[$0.77 Mark$]$

• 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. Both A and R are false.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and R are false.



Two long wires carrying current in same direction attract each other.

When current flows in the same direction, in the region between the wires, the magnetic field due to two wires will be in opposite direction.
