Assertion (A) : Strength of an electromagnet can be increased by increasing the number of turns of winding on solenoid.

Reason (R) : Magnetic field strength is directly proportional to number of turns on the solenoid.

  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 the correct explanation of A

Explanation

Assertion (A) is true because the strength of magnetic field of an electromagnet can be increased by the following two ways :

(i) by increasing the number of turns of winding in the solenoid, and

(ii) by increasing the current through the solenoid.

Reason (R) is true because on increasing the number of turns of winding in the solenoid, the magnetic field strength of an electromagnet also increases and vice versa and hence, reason correctly explains the assertion.
