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

  • question_answer
    Assertion (A): An electron and a proton moving with same velocity enters a magnetic field. The force experienced by the proton is more than the force experienced by the electron.
    Reason (R): The mass of proton is more than the mass of the electron.

    A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

    B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

    C) A is true but R is false

    D) A is false and R is true

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Option [d] is correct,
    Explanation: \[\overset{\to }{\mathop{F}}\,=q\overset{\to }{\mathop{(v}}\,\times \overset{\to }{\mathop{B)}}\,\]
    So, the force is mass independent. So, the assertion is false.
    Proton is obviously heavier than electron. So, reason is true. But reason does not explain the assertion.
