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. |
