Question

Assertion : Electric lines of force cross each other.
Reason : Electric field at a point superimpose to give one resultant electric field.

• A. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
• B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
• C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
• D. If the assertion and reason both are false.
• E. If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is E If assertion is false but reason is true.

If electric lines of forces cross each other, then the electric field at the point of intersection will have two direction simultaneously which is not possible physically.
