Physics-Magnetic Force on Current
NEET Physics Magnetic Force on Current Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): A straight wire carrying current induces a magnetic field around itself. | Reason (R): The magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field is given by F = I(L × B), where L is the length vector of the conductor.
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 B
Detailed Explanation
Assertion A is true as a current-carrying wire does create a magnetic field, but Reason R, while true, explains the force experienced by a conductor in an external magnetic field, not the field generated by the wire itself.
