JEE Main & Advanced Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       At a point in space, the electric field points towards north. In the region, surrounding this point the rate of change of potential will be zero along the east and west. Reason                 :   Electric field due to a charge is the space around the charge.

    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.

    E)                 If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                Since the electric field is directed from south to north hence rate of change of potential will be along this direction, but it is zero along east and west.
