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

  • question_answer
     
    ASSERTION: In electrostatics, electric lines of force can never be closed loops, as a line can never start and end on the same charge.
    REASON: The number of electric lines of force originating or terminating on a charge is proportional to the magnitude of charge.

    A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

    B) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

    C) If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D) If both assertion and reason are false.

    E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Electrostatic field lines of force can never form any closed loop. Because electric field originates from positive charge and terminates on negative charge.
