12th Class Physics Magnetism Question Bank Assertion And Reason (MCQs) - Magnetism and Matter

  • question_answer
    ASSERTION: The poles of magnet cannot be separated by breaking into two pieces.
    REASON: The magnetic moment will be reduced to half when a magnet is broken into two equal pieces.

    A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

    B) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

    C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D) If both assertion and reason are false.

    E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    As we know every atom of a magnet acts as a dipole, so poles cannot be separated. When magnet is broken into two equal pieces, magnetic moment of each part will be half of the original magnet.
