NEET Physics Electric Dipole Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The direction of the electric dipole moment vector is from the negative charge to the positive charge.
Reason (R): The electric dipole consists of equal and opposite charges separated by some distance.
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 and the reason explains the assertion, as the dipole moment vector is defined from -q to q and the dipole consists of equal and opposite charges.
