NEET Physics Biot-Savart Law Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The magnetic field produced by a current element is directed perpendicular to the plane containing the current element and the position vector of the point.
Reason (R): The direction of the magnetic field due to the current element is given by the right-hand screw rule.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true, but R is false.
A is false, but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The Biot-Savart Law states that the magnetic field generated by a current element is perpendicular to the plane containing the current element and the position vector. The right-hand screw rule helps determine this direction, as explained in the NCERT context.
