Assertion (A) : Two bar magnets attract when they are brought near to each other with the same pole.
Reason (R) : Unlike poles attract each other.
- both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
- assertion is false but reason is true
- assertion is true but reason is false
Answer
assertion is false but reason is true
Explanation
Assertion (A) is false because like poles (e.g., north-north or south-south) repel each other and only unlike poles (north-south) attract so two bar magnets will always repel each other when brought near with the same pole.
Reason (R) is true because it is a correct observed behavior of magnets where only unlike poles (N-S) attract each other while similar poles like N-N or S-S repel each other.
