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 is felt is called magnetic field." - This is a true statement. The area surrounding a magnet where it can exert a magnetic force on other magnetic materials is indeed referred to as the magnetic field. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Magnetic influence of a magnet is maximum at its centre." - This statement is false. In fact, the magnetic influence (or magnetic field strength) is strongest at the poles of the magnet (the ends) and weakest at the center. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we conclude that the assertion is correct, but the reason does not support the assertion. 4. **Final Answer**: - The assertion is TRUE, and the reason is FALSE.
