NEET Physics (general) Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12

Assertion (A): The work needed to bring a charge -q to a point D is calculated using the potential at D due to other charges. | Reason (R): The potential at a point is the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point.

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
