JEE Main & Advanced Physics Magnetism Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       When a magnet is brought near iron nails, only translatory force act on it. Reason                 :       The field due to a magnet is generally uniform.

    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.

    E)             If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                In general, the field due to a magnet is non-uniform. Therefore, it exerts both, a net force and a torque on the nails which will translate and also rotate the nails before striking to north pole of magnet with their induced south poles and vice-versa.
