NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): The force between two point charges decreases as the distance between them increases. | Reason (R): The force between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of the charges.
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
Both statements are true, but R does not explain A. A is due to Coulomb's law stating force varies inversely with the square of the distance between charges, not the product of their magnitudes.
