Q.

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

 

1 Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.  
2 Both assertion and reason are correct, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.  
3 Assertion is true, but reason is false.  
4 Assertion is false, but reason is true.

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.
