Magnetism and Matter
Q1. Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | Magnetic dipoles, when placed near a long straight current-carrying wire, are deflected perpendicular to the wire. |
| Reason (R): | The magnetic field lines of a straight current-carrying wire are oriented in a direction which is perpendicular to the wire. |
Q2. A piece of soft iron is placed within the coils of a solenoid, the current through the solenoid being sufficiently large so that the iron is completely magnetised. If the current is increased further the magnetic field within the iron will:
