Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): The potential \((V)\) at any axial point, at \(2~\text m\)  distance (\(r\)) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec P\) of magnitude, \(4\times10^{-6}~\text{C m},\) is \(\pm9\times10^3~\text{V}.\) (Take \({\dfrac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}}=9\times10^9\) SI units)
Reason (R): \(V=\pm{\dfrac{2P}{4\pi\varepsilon_0r^2}},\) where \(r\) is the distance of any axial point situated at \(2~\text m\) from the centre of the dipole.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
2. (A) is True but (R) is False.
3. (A) is False but (R) is True.
4. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
