Question

Assertion: Eddy currents is produced in any metallic conductor when flux is changed around it.

Reason: Electric potential determines the flow of charge.

(a) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason in the correct explanation of the assertion.

(b) If both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not correct explanation of the assertion.

(c) If assertion is true but reason is false.

(d) If the assertion and reason both are false.

(e) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer 1

(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

When a metallic conductor is moved in a magnetic field, magnetic flux is “varied. It disturbs the free electrons of the metal and set up an induced emf in it. As there are no free ends of the metal i.e., it will be closed in itself so there will be induced current
