Physics-Coulomb's Law

NEET Physics Coulomb's Law Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 12

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.

A

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

B

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

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option B

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.
