Question

Assertion  :   On going away from a point charge or a small electric dipole, electric field decreases at the same rate in both the cases.

Reason      : Electric field is inversely proportional to square of distance from the charge or an electric dipole.

(a) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

(c) If assertion is true but reason is false.

(d) If the assertion and reason both are false.

Answer

(d) If the assertion and reason both are false.
