| Assertion (A): The basic difference between magnetic lines of force and electric lines of force is electric lines of force are discontinuous and magnetic lines of force are continuous. |
| Reason (R): Magnetic lines of force exist in a magnet but no electric lines of force exist in a charged body. |
A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C) A is true but R is false
D) A is false and R is true
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
| Option [a] is correct |
| Explanation: Let us consider an electric dipole. |
| The electric lines of force exist outside only and not inside the dipole. |
| Let us take a magnetic dipole. The magnetic lines of force exist outside as well as inside the dipole. |
| So, it can be said that magnetic lines of force are continuous and electric lines of force are discontinuous. |
| So assertion and reason both are true and reason explains the assertion too. |
