MCQ
Assertion : Free electrons always keep on moving in a conductor even then no magnetic force act on them in magnetic field unless a current is passed through it.

Reason : The average velocity of free electron is zero.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • ✓
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • C
    If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
✓

Answer

Correct option: B.
If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
b
In the absence of the electric current, the free electrons in a conductor are in a state of random motion, like molecule in a gas. Their average velocity is zero. i.e. they do not have any net velocity in a direction. As a result, there is no net magnetic force on the free electrons in the magnetic field. On passing the current, the free electrons acquire drift velocity in a definite direction, hence magnetic force acts on them, unless the field has no perpendicular component.
