Assertion: A compass is kept near a wire carrying current gets deflected.
Reason: Electric current is capable of producing a magnetic effect.

Here while carrying out an experiment if a compass needle is placed near a wire carrying current then due to the effect of magnetism which is produced due to electric current produced in the wire the needle gets deflected. It shows that the magnetism and electricity are interlinked. Thus, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
