Assertion (A): A planar loop of irregular shape carrying current is subjected to a magnetic field acting perpendicular to the plane of the loop. If the wire is flexible, the loop takes a circular shape.
Reason (R): The force acting on each point of a current carrying loop, in a magnetic field perpendicular to its plane, is radially outward.
- Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
- Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
- Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
- Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false.
Answer
(A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
