Assertion: Two charges q(1) and q(2) are...

Assertion: Two charges `q_(1)` and `q_(2)` are placed at separation `r`. Then magnitude of the force on each charge is `F`.
Reason: Now a third charge `q_(3)` is placed near `q_(1)` and `q_(2)`. Then force on `q_(1)` and `q_(2)` remains `F`.

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
