The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "The region around a magnet where its magnetic influence can be felt is called a magnetic field." - This is indeed true. A magnetic field is defined as the space around a magnet where magnetic forces can be observed. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "If a magnet is heated, it can lose its magnetism." - This statement is also true. Heating a magnet can cause it to lose its magnetic properties due to the increased thermal energy disrupting the alignment of magnetic domains within the material. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - Although both the assertion and the reason are true, the reason does not explain the assertion. The assertion is about the definition of a magnetic field, while the reason discusses a property of magnets when subjected to heat. - The reason does not provide an explanation for why the area around a magnet is called a magnetic field. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion. ---

To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "The region around a magnet where its magnetic influence can be felt is called a magnetic field." - This is indeed true.
