12th Class Physics Electric Charges and Fields Question Bank Assertion and Reason (MCQs) - Electric Charges and Fields

  • question_answer
    Directions: In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason:
    (R). Mark the correct choice as:
    Assertion (A): No two electric lines of force can intersect each other.
    Reason (R): Tangent at any point of electric line of force gives the direction of electric field.

    A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)

    B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)

    C) Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false            

    D) Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a) If the two electric lines of force can intersect each other than at the point of intersection, we can draw two tangents to the two lines of force. This would mean two directions of electric field intensity at the point of intersection, which is not possible.
