Assertion : The magnetic field at the centre of the circular coil in the following figure due to the currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ is zero.
Reason : $I_1 = I_2$ implies that the fields due to the current $I_1$ and $I_2$ will be balanced.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct,but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
  • C
    If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • D
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
