Assertion: Electric lines of force cross each other
Reason: Electric field at a point superimpose to give one resulant electric field

A

if both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is 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 the Reason is false.

D

if both Assertion and Reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Electric lines of force never cross earth other because if electric lines of force cross each other, then the electric field at the point of intersection will have two directions simultaneously which is not possible .
