Assertion (A): If a charged particle is released from rest in a time varying magnetic field, it moves in a circle.
Reason (R): In a time varying magnetic field, conservative electric field is induced.
1. Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
2. Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
3. (A) is true but (R) is false
4. Both (A) and (R) are false

Assertion (A) is false; a charged particle released from rest experiences no magnetic force (\(F_B = q(v \times B)\)). While an induced electric field exists, it does not necessarily cause circular motion. Reason (R) is false; a time-varying magnetic field induces a non-conservative electric field.
Assertion (A): At any instant, if the current through an inductor is zero, then the induced emf may not be zero.
Reason (R): An inductor tends to keep the flux constant.

View Answer
Assertion (A) is true: The induced EMF is \(emf = -L \frac{dI}{dt}\). Even if \(I=0\) instantaneously, \(frac{dI}{dt}\) can be non-zero (e.g., during oscillation or switching). Reason (R) is true, describing Lenz's law. However, R is not the correct explanation for A, as A focuses on instantaneous values of \(I\) and \(frac{dI}{dt}\).
