Assertion (A): A magnetic suspended freely in an uniform magnetic field experiences no net force, but a torque that tends to align the magnet along the field when it is deflected form equilibrium position
Reason (R ): Net force `mB-mB=0`, but the forces on north and south poles being equal, unlike and parallel make up a couple that tends to align the magnet, along the field.

A

If both Assertain and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertain

B

If both Assertain and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explantion of Assertain

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false

D

If Assertion is false but Reason in true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
A magnet does not experience any force since net corce, Mb-Mb=0. The forces on NS poles are equal. Unlike and parallel makes a couple to align the magnet.

Asseriton (A): A magnetic suspended freely in an uniform magnetic field experiences no net force, but a torque that tends to algn the magnet along the field when it is deflected form equilibrium position Reason (R ): Net force mB-mB-0 , but the forces on north and south poles being equal, unlike and parallel make up a couple that tends to align the magnet, along the field.

Assertion: When a magnetic dipole is placed in a non uniform magnetic field, only a torque acts on the dipole. Reason: Force would also acts on dipole if magnetic field were uniform.

Assertion: When a magnetic dipole is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, only a torque acts on the dipole. Reason: Force would also acts on dipole if magnetic field were uniform.

A: A magnetize needle in a uniform magnetic field experiences a torque but no net force, however, an iron hail near a bar magnet experiences a force of attraction as well as torque. R: Bar magnet creates non-uniform magnetic field.

Assertion : Magnetic force is always perpendicualr to the magnetic field. Reason : Electric force is along the direction of electric field.

Assertion (A): An alpha particle placed in a magnetic field will not experience any force, if it moves in the magnetic field parallel to field lines. Reason (R): The force is zero if current and field are in the same direction.
