Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): |
If the electric field due to a dipole on its axis line at a distance r is E, then the electric field due to a dipole at the same distance at the equatorial line will be E/2. |
Reason (R): |
Electric field due to dipole varies inversely as the square of the distance. |
In light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. |
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. |
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. |
(A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. |
Both (A) and (R) are false. |
