Assertion: The force with which one plate of a parallel plate capacitor is attracted towards the other plate is equal to square of surface density per `epsilon` per unit area.
Reason: The electric field due to one charged plate of the capacitor at the location of the other is equal to surface density per `epsilon`.

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 reason is not the 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

The correct Answer is:
