The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states: "The magnetic field always accelerates a moving charge if the moving charge cuts the field lines." - When a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force. This force is given by the equation: \[ F = Q(\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B}) \] where \( F \) is the magnetic force, \( Q \) is the charge, \( \mathbf{v} \) is the velocity vector of the charge, and \( \mathbf{B} \) is the magnetic field vector. ### Step 2: Analyze the Motion of the Charge When the charge cuts through the magnetic field lines, it experiences a force that is perpendicular to both its velocity and the magnetic field. This results in circular motion. - In circular motion, the direction of the velocity changes continuously, which means the charge is undergoing acceleration (even if the speed remains constant). ### Step 3: Understand the Reason The reason states: "When a moving charge cuts the magnetic field lines, the magnetic force on the charge is always non-zero." - The magnetic force will only be zero if the angle \( \theta \) between the velocity vector \( \mathbf{v} \) and the magnetic field vector \( \mathbf{B} \) is zero (i.e., they are parallel). However, when a charge is moving through a magnetic field and cutting the field lines, this angle is usually not zero, ensuring that the magnetic force is non-zero. ### Step 4: Conclusion - Since the assertion is true (the magnetic field does accelerate a moving charge when it cuts the field lines) and the reason is also true (the magnetic force is non-zero when the charge cuts the field lines), we conclude that both statements are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. ---
