NEET Physics Electric Dipole Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by a certain distance. | Reason (R): The dipole moment vector is directed from the negative charge to the positive charge.
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 the assertion and reason are true. An electric dipole is defined by two equal and opposite charges separated by a distance, and its dipole moment vector is indeed directed from the negative charge to the positive charge, as stated in the NCERT context.
