AIIMS 2018 Physics Faraday's Law Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Assertion: An emf can be induced by moving a conductor in a magnetic field. Reason: An emf can be induced by changing the magnetic field.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Option B is correct because both the assertion and reason are true: an electromotive force (emf) can indeed be induced by moving a conductor through a magnetic field (Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction), and it can also be induced by changing the magnetic field around a conductor. However, the reason does not directly explain the assertion, as the assertion specifically refers to the motion of a conductor, while the reason pertains to the change in the magnetic field itself.

Option A is incorrect because, although both statements are true, the reason does not provide the correct explanation for the assertion. Option C is incorrect because both the assertion and reason are true. Option D is incorrect as both statements are true, thus making this option invalid.
