Assetrion: Electric lines of force never cross each other.
Reason: Electric field at a point superimpose to give one resultant electric field

Options

A. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
B. Both A and Rare true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
C. A is true but R is false
D. A is false and R is true

Answer

D

Explanation

Electric lines of force never cross each other. If they cross each other, then at that point, we get two directions of electric field at that point, which is not possible. So, the assertion is false. The resultant electric field at a point is a vector sum of the electric field at that point.
