Question

Assertion: A charge, whether stationary or in motion produces a magnetic field around it.
Reason: Moving charges produce only electric field in the surrounding space.

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false
• D. If both assertion and reason are false

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

A charge, whether stationary or in motion, produces an electric field around it. If it is in motion, then in addition to the electric field, it also produces a magnetic field, because moving charges produce magnetic field in the surrounding space.
