Assertion : In the absence of an externally applied electric field,...

Assertion : In the absence of an externally applied electric field, the displacement per unit volume of a polar dielectric material is always zero. Reason : In polar dielectrics, each molecule has a permanent dipole moment but these are randomly oriented in the absence of an externally applied electric field.

Options

  1. AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
  2. BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
  3. CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
  4. DIf both assertion and reason are false.

Correct answer

A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
