NEET Physics Coulomb's Law Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): Coulomb's law describes the magnitude of force between two point charges as dependent on the square of the distance between them. | Reason (R): The quantisation of charge has no practical consequence at the macroscopic level.
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.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
While both statements are true, the reason does not directly explain the assertion. Coulomb's law is based on the inverse square relationship, and the quantisation of charge is a separate macroscopic consideration.
