Assertion: If two long wires, hanging freely are connected to a battery in series, they come closer to each other.
Reason: Force of attraction acts between the two wires carrying currents.

A

both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

Assertion is true but the Reason is false.

D

both Assertion and Reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When two long parallel wires, are connected to a battery in series. They carry currents in opposite directions, hence they repel each other.
