Assertion: In electric circuits, wires carrying currents in opposite directions are often twised together.
Reason: If the wires are not twisted together, the combination of the wires formes a current loop, the magnetic field generated by the loop might affect adjacent circuits of components.

Options

A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
D. If the assertion and reason both are false.

Answer

C

Explanation

If the wires are twisted together, they can be formed as a single wire carrying currents in opposite directions. In this pattern, in wires no magnetic field is induced which does not affect adjacent circuits.
