Assertion (A): Magnetic poles are only mathematical assumptions having no real existence.
Reason (R): A charged particle is moved along a magnetic field line. The magnetic force on the particle is perpendicular to its velocity.
Reason (R): A charged particle is moved along a magnetic field line. The magnetic force on the particle is perpendicular to its velocity.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If (A) is true but the (R) is false
Option C is correct. Magnetic poles do exist in reality (as dipoles), and the reason is false because the magnetic force is perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field, not just velocity.
