move away form the solenoid so as to compensate this flux. This is according to Lenz’s law.
Q.8. Assertion : An emf can be induced by moving a conductor in a magnetic field.
Reason : An emf can be induced by changing the magnetic field.
Answer(b) In both the cases, the magnetic flux will change, and so there is an induced current.

(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

Reason: An electron has a negative charge.

Q.3. Assertion : Electric lines of force never cross each other.

Q.4. Assertion : The Coulomb force is the dominating force in the universe.

Reason : The Coulomb force is weaker than the gravitational force.

Reason : This follows from conservation of electric charges.

Q.7. Assertion : The tyres of aircraft are slightly conducting.

Answer(b) Both the statements are independently correct.

Reason : Conducting sphere has no free electrons at the centre.

Reason : Both laws are same in all aspects.

Reason : The coulomb force is weaker than the gravitational force.

Reason : In coulomb attraction two bodies are oppositely charged.

Reason : Forces will be same in electric field.

Answer(a) The electrostatic shielding is possible by metallic conductor.
