    Assertion (A): For identical charges of magnitude g each are placed at the vertices of a square of side'a'. The electric field at the centre point O is zero but electric potential is non-zero and finite. Reason (R) : Electric field is a vector quantity but electric potential is a D scalar.

    Electric potential at some point in space is zero then at that point
