Assertion : The Coulomb force is dominating force in the universe....

Assertion : The Coulomb force is dominating force in the universe. Reason : The Coulomb force is weaker than the gravitational force.

Options

  1. Aif both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
  2. Bif both assertion and reason are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
  3. Cif assertion is true but reason is false
  4. Dif both assertion and reason are false statements.

Correct answer

D. if both assertion and reason are false statements.

Step-by-step solution

The dominating force in the universe is the gravitational force. Because the gravitational force of attraction exists between any two bodies in the universe. Moreover it is the weakest of all the four fundamental forces in nature.
