Assertion: A circular loop carrying current lies in `XY` plane with its centre at origin having a magnetic flux in negative `Z`-axis.
Reason: Magnetic flux direction is independent of the direction of current in the conductor.

Options

A. If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explantion of the assertion.
B. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not true the correct explantion of the assertion.
C. If the assertion is true but reason false
D. If both the assertion and reason are false.

Answer

C

Explanation

The direction of magnetic field due to current carrying conductor can be founded by applying right hand thumb rule or right hand palm rule. When electric current is passed through a circular conductor, the magnetic field lines near the centre of the conductor are almost straight lines. Magnetic flux direction is determined only by the direction of current.
