NEET Physics Coulomb's Law Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Coulomb force can be attractive or repulsive, leading to the possibility of cancellation of electric forces.
Reason (R): The large value of the proportionality constant k in Coulomb's law is due to the large size of the unit of charge from the point of view of electric effects.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Both statements are true. Coulomb force can indeed be attractive or repulsive, and the large value of k is due to the large size of the unit of charge, but the reason does not explain the assertion.
