  • question_answer
    Directions: In the following questions, a statement of Assertion [A] is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
    Assertion [A]: The ends of a magnet suspended freely point out always along north south.
    Reason (R): Earth behaves as a huge magnet.
       

    A) Both Assertion [A] and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion [A]

    B) Both Assertion [A] and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion [A]

    C) Assertion [A] is true but Reason (R) is false

    D) Assertion [A] is false and Reason (R) is also false

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a)                                                    Earth's magnetic field can be represented as the field of a huge bar magnet. If the magnet is freely suspended its north-pole points towards geographic north-pole (really a south magnet pole of Earth).
