Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
The quantity of charge that can be given to a capacitor is limited by the fact that every dielectric is limited by the dielectric strength of the medium between the plates. The dielectric strength is the maximum value of an electric field that it can tolerate without breakdown. Beyond this field, the dielectric no more behaves as dielectric but it conducts electricity.
