Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion Assertion given is correct that electric field is a vector field that associates to each point in space the Coulomb's force experienced by a test charge. Because force experienced by a charge q is =qE where E is electric field experienced by the charge. The reason given is incorrect explanation for assertion.
