Question

Assertion : Two parallel conducting wires carrying currents in opposite direction, come close to each other
Reason : Parallel currents repel and anti parallel currents attract

• 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
