NEET 2024 Physics Potential at Axial Point Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A: The potential (V)(V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance rr from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector P\vec{P} of magnitude, 4×1064 \times 10^{-6} C m, is ±9×103\pm 9 \times 10^3 V. (Take 14πε0=9×109\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 SI units)

Reason R: V=±2P4πε0r2V = \pm \frac{2P}{4\pi\varepsilon_0 r^2}, where rr is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A

A is true but R is false.

B

A is false but R is true.

C

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

D

Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The formula for potential at an axial point of a dipole is correctly given by the reason. Both statements are true and R explains A.
