Self inductance of a solenoid is given by \(L = \frac{\mu_0 N^2 A}{l}\). So, Assertion (A) is true as \(L\) is inversely proportional to \(l\). Self inductance \(L\) is a property of the coil's geometry and material, not dependent on current. So, Reason (R) is false. Thus, (A) is true but (R) is false.
Assertion (A): If a coil carrying current in counter clockwise direction moves towards another stationary coil in the same plane, current induced in stationary coil will be counter clock wise.

Assertion (A) is false: A counter-clockwise current in the moving coil creates a magnetic field pointing out of the page. As it moves towards the stationary coil, the outward flux through the stationary coil increases. By Lenz's law, the induced current will oppose this change by creating an inward magnetic field, which requires a clockwise current.
Reason (R) is true: Mutual inductance \(M\) is a geometric property of the coils and is independent of the direction of current. Since (A) is false and (R) is true, none of the provided options accurately describe the situation.
Assertion (A): If a bar magnet is moved towards a conducting coil in a direction perpendicular to the plane of coil, the work done in moving the magnet will be more if it is moved faster rather than slower.
Reason (R): If the magnet is moved at a faster rate towards the circular coil, then the induced current in the circular coil is more.

Assertion (A) is true: Faster movement causes a greater rate of change of magnetic flux (\(\frac{d\Phi}{dt}\)), leading to a larger induced emf (\(epsilon = -\frac{d\Phi}{dt}\)) and current (\(I = \frac{\epsilon}{R}\)). This results in a stronger opposing force (Lenz's Law), requiring more work. Reason (R) is true: Induced current is directly proportional to the rate of change of flux. Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A).
Assertion (A): The probability of burn out of a dc motor is maximum, when the motor is just switched on.
Reason (R): No back emf is developed in the armature of dc motor, when it is just switched on.

Assertion (A) is true: When a DC motor starts, its speed is zero, thus the back EMF (\(epsilon_b\)) is zero. This leads to the maximum current (\(I = \frac{V - \epsilon_b}{R_a}\)) drawn from the supply, which can cause burnout. Reason (R) is true: Back EMF is proportional to the motor's angular speed (\(epsilon_b = k\Phi\omega\)), so it is zero at startup (\(omega = 0\)). Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A).
Assertion (A): If a closed loop is kept in a space having time varying magnetic field, emf is always induced in the loop.

Assertion (A) is true: By Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction, a time-varying magnetic flux (\(\Phi\)) through a closed loop will induce an electromotive force (\(epsilon = -\frac{d\Phi}{dt}\)). Reason (R) is false: The induced electric field and thus the induced emf, arising from a changing magnetic flux, are non-conservative in nature. If they were conservative, the line integral (emf) would be zero.
Assertion (A): If a magnet is allowed to fall co-axially through a long copper tube, its acceleration decreases with time.

Assertion (A) is true: As the magnet falls, eddy currents are induced in the copper tube. By Lenz's law, these currents create a magnetic field that produces an upward braking force opposing the magnet's motion. This opposing force increases with the magnet's speed, thus reducing the net downward force and acceleration. Reason (R) is true: As the magnet falls downwards, the induced magnetic force always opposes the motion, meaning its direction is always upwards. However, (R) does not explain the *decrease* in acceleration, which is due to the *increasing magnitude* of the opposing force with speed. So, (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).

Magnetic flux \(\phi = \vec{B} \cdot \vec{A}\) is a scalar quantity (A is false). Also, \(\phi = BA cos\theta\) can be negative when \(cos\theta\) is negative, indicating direction relative to area normal (R is false). Both are false.
Assertion (A): At the instant when magnetic flux is zero, emf induced in the coil is maximum when it is rotating in uniform magnetic field w.r.t. axis in the plane of coil.
Reason (R): emf induced in the coil is equal to rate of change of magnetic flux.
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)

Induced emf is \(E = -d\phi/dt = BA\omega sin(\omega t)\). Magnetic flux is \(\phi = BA cos(\omega t)\). When \(\phi = 0\), \(cos(\omega t) = 0\), which implies \(sin(\omega t) = 1\). Thus, \(E\) is maximum. Both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A.

Inductance coils are made of copper due to its low resistivity, minimizing energy loss. Low resistance allows more induced current for a given EMF (by \(I = V/R\)). Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and R explains A.

Transformers rely on mutual induction, which requires a changing magnetic flux. DC current, being constant (R), produces a steady flux, thus no induced EMF. Both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A.
