Assertion : Electric lines of force cross each other.
Reason: Electric field at a point supermpose to give one resultant electric field.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not correct explanation of the assertion.
explanation: if electric lines of forces cross each other, then the electric field at the point of intersection wil have two direction simultaneously which is not possible physically .
