Assertion: Basic difference between an electric line and magnetic line of force is that former is discontinuous and the latter is continuous or endless.
Reason: No electric lines of force exist inside a charged body but magnetic lines do exist inside a magnet.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

In case of the electric dipole, the electric lines of force originate from positive charge and end at negative charge. Since isolated magnetic lines are closed continuous loops extending throughout the body of the magnet
