MOVING CHARGES AND MAGNETISM

ASSERTION & REASON

In the following questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason. You are required to choose
the correct one out of the given four responses and mark it as
(a) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the
correct explanation of the assertion.
(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not
correct explanation of the assertion.
(c) If assertion is true, but reason is false.
(d) If both assertion and reason are false.
(e) If reason is true but assertion is false.

1. Assertion: In the absence of an externally applied electric field, the displacement per unit volume of a polar
dielectric material is always zero.
Reason: In poar dielectrics, each molecule has a permanent dipole moment but these are randomly oriented
in the absence of an externally applied electric field.

2. Assertion: The true geographic north direction is found by using a compass needle.
Reason: The magnetic meridian of the earth is along the axis of rotation of the earth.

3. Assertion: When radius of circular loop carrying current is doubled, its magnetic moment becomes four times.
Reason: Magnetic moment depends on area of the loop.

4. Assertion: The energy of charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field does not change.
Reason: Work done by magnetic field on the charge is zero.

5. Assertion: The magnetic poles of earth do not coincide with the geographic poles.
Reason: The discrepancy between the orientation of a compass and true north-south direction is known as
magnetic declination.

6. Assertion: If a proton and an a-particle enter a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly with the same speed, the
time period of revolution of -particle is double that of proton.
Reason: In a magnetic field, the period of revolution of a charged particle is directly proportional to the mass
of the particle and is inversely proportional to charge of particle.

7. Assertion: Magnetic field lines are continuous and closed.

Reason: Magnetic monopole does not exist.

8. Assertion: Magnetic field interacts with a moving charge and not with a stationary charge.
Reason: A moving charge produces a magnetic field.

9. Assertion: The magnetic field at the ends of a very long current carrying solenoid is half of that at the centre.
Reason: If the solenoid is sufficiently long, the field within it is uniform.

10. Assertion: The energy of a charged particle does not change, when it moves inside the magnetic field.
Reason: It is because, force on the charged particle due to the magnetic field acts perpendicular to its path.
11. Assertion: If an electron and proton enter a magnetic field with equal momentum, then the paths of both of
them will be equally curved.
Reason: The magnitude of charge on an electron is same as that on a proton.

12. Assertion: Both A m2 and J T–1 are the units of magnetic dipole moment.
Reason: Both the units are equivalent to each other.
