Assertion: A point charge is brought in ...

Assertion: A point charge is brought in an electric field. The field at a nearby point will increases whatever be the nature of the charge.
Reason : the electric field is independent of the nature of charge.

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

If the assertion and reason both are false.
Explanation : Electric field at the nearby-point will be resultant of existing field and field due to the charge brought. It may increase or decrease if the charge is positive or negative depending on the position of the point with respect to the charge brought.
