Assertion: When a magnet is brought near iron nails, only translatory force act on it.
Reason: The field due to magnet is generally uniform

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 not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In general, the field due to a magnet is non-uniform. Therefore, it exerts both, a net force and a torque on the nails which will translate and also rotate the nails before striking to north pole of magnet with their induced south poles and vice-versa.
