Answer
A transformer can be used with d.c.
Reason — Transformers are used with a.c. circuits to step up or step down voltage. In d.c. circuits, since the current is constant, induction cannot happen. Therefore, transformers are not used with d.c. circuits.

Assertion (A): A current carrying solenoid when suspended freely sets itself in the north-south direction just like a bar magnet.
Reason (R): The end of the solenoid where the direction of current is anti-clockwise behaves as a north pole and the end where the direction of the current is clockwise behaves as a south pole.
