Assertion In the phenomenon of mutual induction, self-induction of each of the coils persists.
Reason Self-induction arises when strength of current in same coil Changes. In mutual induction, current is changing in both the individual coils.

Options

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 reasonb is false
D. If both assertion and reason are false.

Answer

B

Explanation

Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion. The assertion is true. Even when the emf is switched off, the current continues to flow because its resistance becomes zero. The Meissner effect is another property of the superconductor and not the reason for the assertion. Meissner effect repels the magnetic field lines from the interior of the superconductor.
