Physics-Electric Potential
NEET Physics Electric Potential Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12
Assertion (A): The electric potential due to a dipole at a point on its equatorial plane is zero. | Reason (R): The potential due to the positive and negative charges of the dipole cancel each other on the equatorial plane.
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 but R is true.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
In the equatorial plane of a dipole, the electric potential is zero because the contributions from the positive and negative charges cancel each other out, as indicated in the NCERT context.
