Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Force on any charge in a magnetic field is given by F=qvBsinθ, when body is at rest then velocity is zero, so the net force is zero.
As we can see in above equation that the force on a charged particle is dependent on velocity of particle.
Reason is incorrect.
