Physics

Assertion (A) : The direction of induced current is such that it opposes the cause which produces it.

Reason (R) : A current is induced in the coil if there is a change in the magnetic flux linked with the coil.

  1. both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
  3. assertion is false but reason is true
  4. assertion is true but reason is false

Answer

both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A

Explanation

Assertion (A) is true. Lenz’s Law states that the induced current opposes the cause producing it

Reason (R) is true. From Faraday’s law, which says a current is induced in a coil when there is a change in magnetic flux linked with the coil. However, Reason (R) is not the direct explanation of Assertion (A) because R explains the condition for induction, not the direction.
