Question:

Pick out the wrong statement among the following

Show Hint

Magnetic effects require motion of charges.
Updated On: May 2, 2026
  • Time varying magnetic field creates an electric field
  • Charges in motion can exert force on a stationary magnet
  • Stationary charges can exert torque on a stationary magnet
  • A bar magnet in motion can exert force on a stationary charge
  • Electric fields produced by static charges have different properties from those produced by time varying magnetic fields

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Magnetic force depends on motion of charge: \[ \vec{F} = q \vec{v} \times \vec{B} \]

Step 1: Analyze each option
(A) True → Faraday’s Law: \[ \text{Changing } B \Rightarrow \text{induces } E \] (B) True → Moving charges create magnetic field → affect magnets (C) Wrong:
• Stationary charge → no magnetic field
• No interaction with magnet
• Hence no torque (D) True → moving magnet → changing field → induces force (E) True → induced electric field is non-conservative Final Answer: (C)
