CUET BASED QUESTIONS
1. An infinitely long conductor PQR is bent to form a right angle as shown. A current f flows through
PQR. The magnetic field due to this current at the point M is H1. Now another infinitely long

3. A straight section PQ of a circuit lies along the X-axis from x= −a/2 to x=a/2 and carries a steady

ASSERTION REASONING QUESTIONS
Here statement of assertion [A] is followed by a statement of reason [R]. Mark the correct choice.
A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If both assertion and reason are false.
1. ASSERTION: Magnetic field interacts with a moving Charge and not with a stationary charge.
REASON: A moving charge produces a magnetic field. (Ans: A)
2. ASSERTION: If two long wires, hanging freely are connected to a battery in series, they come
closer to the each other.
REASON: Force of attraction acts between the two wires carrying current. (Ans : D)
