The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both statements carefully. ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states: "For a given potential function, electric intensity function can be uniquely derived." - **Explanation**: The electric field intensity (E) is related to the electric potential (V) through the relationship: \[ E = -\frac{dV}{dr} \] This implies that if we know the potential function V(r), we can differentiate it to find the electric field intensity E. Therefore, the assertion is true. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states: "For a given electric intensity function, electric potential function can be uniquely derived." - **Explanation**: The relationship between electric field intensity and electric potential is given by: \[ dV = -E \, dr \] To find the potential function V from the electric field intensity E, we would integrate: \[ V = -\int E \, dr \] However, this integration can yield a family of potential functions differing by a constant (since the potential is defined up to an arbitrary constant). Thus, the reason statement is false because the potential function is not uniquely determined by the electric field intensity. ### Step 3: Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is true. - The reason is false. Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer The assertion is true, while the reason is false. ---
