Assertion and Reason Questions
Q19. Assertion (A): A simple magnetic compass can be prepared by inserting a magnetised iron needle in a piece of cork and allow the cork to float in water kept in a bowl.
Reason (R): In the above arrangement the needle must touch water while floating.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Q20. Assertion (A): Maglev is the train which does not require wheels.
Reason (R): Maglev train experiences very less friction.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Q21. Assertion (A): Strength of electromagnet depends on the magnitude of current flowing through them.
Reason (R): Electromagnets are used to lift heavy weights.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Q22. Assertion (A): A compass is a magnetic device that is used by sailors to find directions.
