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