Assertion : Gauss's law of magnetism is different from that for electrostatics.
Reason : Isolated magnetic poles are not known to exist.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is ture but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Gauss's law of magnetism is different from that for electrostatics because electric charges do not necessarily endst in pairs but magnetic monopoles do not exist.
