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 m distance (r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector \(\vec P\) of magnitude 4 × 10–6 C m, is ± 9 × 103 V.
(Take \(\rm \frac{1}{4\pi \varepsilon_0}=9\times 10^9\) SI units)
Reason R: \(\rm \frac{2P}{4\pi \varepsilon_0 r^2}\) where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 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 the correct explanation of A.
2
Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
3
A is true but R is false
4
A is false but R is true
