Question
For two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
  1. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion (A): ln electrostatics, electric lines of force can never be closed loops, as a line can never start and end on the same charge.
Reason (R): The number of electric lines of force originating or terminating on a charge is proportional to the magnitude of charge.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Electrostatic field lines of force can never form any closed loop. Because electric field originate from positive charge and terminates on negative charge.
