Question
Assertion (A): When current is passed through a wire, a magnetic field is generated around the wire.
Reason (R): Whenever there is a change of magnetic flux linked up with the coil, the induced current is generated in the coil.
Options
Both A and R are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is correct but R is wrong.

Solution
Both A and R are correct, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Assertion (A) is true because a current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field around it (Oersted’s experiment). Reason (R) is also true because a change in magnetic flux linked with a coil induces a current in the coil. But R describes electromagnetic induction; it does not explain why a current produces a magnetic field. Therefore, R is not the correct explanation of A.
