1.	A loosely wound helix made of stiff metal wire is mounted vertically with the lower end just touching the mercury in a dish. When the current from a batter is started in the metal wire through the mercury, the wire executes oscillatory motion with the lower end jumping out of and into the mercury. Explain.A. If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explantion of the assertion.B. If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not true the correct explantion of the assertion.C. If the assertion is true but reason falseD. If both the assertion and reason are false.
Answer» Correct Answer - B The winding of helix carry currents in the same direction therefore they experience an attractive force pulling the lower end out of mercury. As a result of this, the circuit breaks, current becomes zero and hence the force of attraction vanishes and the helix comes back to its initial position, completing the circuit again.
