| 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): In 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. |
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: B
Solution :
(b) Electrostatic field lines of force can never form any closed loop. Because electric field originate from positive charge and terminates on negative charge.
