Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : The outer body of an air craft is made of metal which protects persons sitting inside from lightning-strikes.
Reason (R): The electric field inside the cavity enclosed by a conductor is zero.
In the light of the above statements, chose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
  • A
    Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
