Assertion: In electric circuits, wires c...

Assertion: In electric circuits, wires carrying currents in opposite directions are often twised together.
Reason: If the wires are not twisted together, the combination of the wires formes a current loop, the magnetic field generated by the loop might affect adjacent circuits of components.

A

If both asseration and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both asseration 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 is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
If the wires are twisted together, they can be formed as a single wire carrying currents in opposite direction. In this pattern, in wires no magnetic field is induced which does not affect adjacent circuits
