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.
