Question

Assertion (A): Magnetic monopoles do not exist. Reason (R): Magnetic field lines are continuous and form closed loops. Choose the correct answer.

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Magnetic field lines do not start or terminate at isolated magnetic charges; instead, they form continuous closed loops. This is consistent with Gauss's law for magnetism, ∮B·dA = 0, which expresses the absence of isolated magnetic monopoles in classical electromagnetism. Thus both statements are correct, and the Reason explains the Assertion. Correct option: C.
