d) three pairs of alternate long and short parallel lines
iv. Consider the following statements.
A. Heating effect of electric current is not responsible for glowing of bulb.
B. Electric iron works due to heating effect of electric current.
Which of the statement(s) is/are true?

c) vanishes, less d) vanishes, more
vi. Select the correct option.
Assertion: A magnetic needle placed near a current carrying wire keeps on deflecting
even after we switch off the current in the wire.
Reason: A conducting wire behaves as a magnet when electric current flows through it.
