The two linear parallel conductors carrying currents in the opposite direction…………………each other.

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 the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Since in the two parallel wires the flow of current is in opposite directions they repel each other, so they will move apart. Parallel currents attract and anti-parallel currents repel.
