1. 
Assertion (A): A current-carrying straight conductor produces a magnetic field around it.
Reason (R): The magnetic field around the conductor forms concentric circles.
 2. 
Assertion (A): Increasing the current through a straight conductor increases the strength of the magnetic field around it.
Reason (R): The strength of the magnetic field produced by a conductor depends on the amount of current flowing through it.
