NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

Assertion (A): The magnetic energy per unit volume in a region with a magnetic field is proportional to the square of the magnetic field strength. | Reason (R): The formula for magnetic energy density involves the magnetic permeability of free space.

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.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The NCERT context states that the magnetic energy per unit volume is proportional to B² and involves the magnetic permeability of free space, which is consistent with the formula B²/2μ₀.
