Assertion (A) : Electric charges is quan...

Assertion (A) : Electric charges is quantised.
Reason ® : charges less than n C is not possible in nature.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c

Assertion is true but reason is false. A charge of `e=1.6 xx 10 ^(-19) C ` is freely possible in nature.
