Assertion and Reason Type Questions
Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) are as given below
(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) A is false and R is also false.
Q35.Assertion: Difference between an electric line and magnetic line of force is that
electric linesof force are discontinuous and the magnetic field lines are continuous.
Reason: Electric lines of forces do not exist inside a charged conductor but magnetic
lines existinside a magnet.
Q36.Assertion: A current carrying solenoid behaves like a bar magnet.
Reason: The circular loop in which the direction of current is clockwise behaves like
the SouthPole and the one having anticlockwise current behaves like the North Pole.
Q37.Assertion: Permanent magnets retain their ferromagnetic property for a long period of time.
Reason: Steel is a diamagnetic material.
Q38. Assertion: When a bar magnet is hung freely it points toward geographical poles.
Reason: Magnetic field lines do not intersect.

Reason: A diamagnetic specimen is repelled by a magnet.
Q40.Assertion: Motion of electron around a positively charged nucleus is different from
the of aplanet around the sun.
Reason: The force acting in both the cases is same in nature.
Q41.Assertion: Two parallel conducting wires carrying currents in same direction, come
close toeach other.
Reason: Parallel currents attract and anti-parallel currents repel.
Q42.Assertion: A galvanometer cannot as such be used as an ammeter to measure the
currentacross a given section of the circuit.
