MCQ
For two statements are given $-$ one labelled Assertion $(A)$ and the other labelled Reason $(R)$. Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes $\ce{(a), (b), (c)}$ and $(d)$ as given below:
Assertion : A solenoid tends to expand, when a current passes through it.
Reason : Two straight parallel metallic wires carrying current in same direction attract each other.
  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, and $R$ is correct explanation of the assertion.
  • B
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true, but $R$ is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
  • C
    $A$ is true, but $R$ is false.
  • ✓
    $A$ is false, but $R$ is true.
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
$A$ is false, but $R$ is true.
When current flows through a solenoid, the currents in the various turns of the solenoid are parallel and in the same direction. Since the currents flowing through parallel wires in the same direction lead to a force of attraction between them, the turns of the solenoid will also attract each other and as a result, the solenoid tends to contract.
