Assertion-Reason Questions

(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.

Question. Assertion (A): Faraday established induced emf experimentally.
Reason (R): Magnetic flux can produce an induced emf.

Question. Assertion (A): Acceleration of a vertically falling magnet through a horizontal metallic ring is less than g.
Reason (R): Current induced in the ring opposes the fall of magnet.

Question. Assertion (A): Only a change of magnetic flux will maintain an induced current in the coil.
Reason (R): The presence of a large magnetic flux will maintain an induced current in the coil.

Question. Assertion (A): An emf is induced in a closed loop where magnetic flux is varied. The induced field E is not a conservative field.
Reason (R): The line integral ∮ E^→.dl^→ around a closed path is non-zero.

Question. Assertion (A): Two identical co-axial circular coils carry equal currents circulating in same direction. If coils approach each other, the current in each coil decreases.
Reason (R): When coils approach each other, the magnetic flux linked with each coil increases.
According to Lenz’s law, the induced current in each coil will oppose the increase in magnetic flux, hence, the current in each coil will decrease.

Question. Assertion (A): The direction of induced emf is always such as to oppose the changes that causes it.
Reason (R): The direction of induced emf is given by Lenz’s law .

Question. Assertion (A): If current changes through a circuit, eddy currents are induced in nearby iron piece.
Reason (R): Due to change of current, the magnetic flux through iron piece changes, so eddy currents are induced in iron piece.

Question. Assertion (A): When a rod moves in a transverse magnetic field, an emf is induced in the rod; the end becomes magnetic with end A positive.
Reason (R): A Lorentz force evB acts on free electrons, so electrons move from B to A, thus by making end A positive and end B negative.

Question. Assertion (A): If we use a battery across the primary of a step up transformer, then voltage is also obtained across secondary.
Reason (R): Battery gives a time varying current, so there is a change in magnetic flux through the secondary of transformer and hence, emf is induced across secondary.

Question. Assertion (A): In the phenomenon of mutual induction, self-induction of each of the coils persists
Reason (R): Self-induction arises when strength of current in same coil changes. In mutual induction, current is changed in both individual coils.
