- AThe direction of the magnetic field is taken to be the direction in which a north pole of the compass needle moves inside it.
- BThe magnetic field lines are closed curves.
- CNo two field-lines are found to cross each other.
- DNone
Explanation:
The direction of the magnetic field is taken to be the direction in which a north pole of the compass needle moves inside it. Therefore it is taken by convention that the field lines emerge from the north pole and merge at the south pole. Inside the magnet, the direction of field lines is from its south pole to its north pole. Thus the magnetic field lines are closed curves. The relative strength of the magnetic field is shown by the degree of closeness of the field lines. The field is stronger, that is, the force acting on the pole of another magnet placed is greater where the field lines are crowded. No two field-lines are found to cross each other. If they did, it would mean that at the point of intersection, the compass needle would point towards two directions, which is not possible.

Assertion : Current is passed through a metallic wire, heating it red. When cold water is poured on half of its portion, then rest of the half portion become more hot.
Reason : Resistances decreases due to decrease in temperature and so current through wire increases.

(a) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. |
|
(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. |
|
(c) If assertion is true but reason is false. |
|
(d) If the assertion and reason both are false. |
