Given below are two statement: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R):
Assertion (A): A point charge is brought in an electric field, the field at a nearby point will increase or decrease, depending on the nature of charge.
Reason (R): The magnitude electric field is independent of the nature of charge.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the option given below.
A
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).
B
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A).
C
Assertion (A) is true, and Reason (R) is false.
D
Assertion (A) is false, and Reason (R) is true.
Explanation
The electric field will increase if positive charge is brought in an electric field.
