Assetrion: The coulomb force is the dominating force in the universe.
Reason: The coulomb force is weaker than the gravitational force.

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:
d

The electrostatic force between the two protons is nearly `10^(36)` times the gravitaional force between them. The electrostatic force between the two electrons is nearly `10^(43)` times the gravitaional force between them. The electrostatic force between a proton and an electron is nearly `10^(39)` times the gravitional force between them. Gravitational force is the dominating force in nature and not Coulomb's force. Gravitational force is the weaker force. Also, Coulomb's force `gt gt `gravitational force.
