NEET Physics Question - Electrostatics

Assertion (A): A point charge is brought in an electric field. The field at a nearby point will increases, whatever be the nature of charge.

Reason (R): The direction of electric field lines is independent of the nature of charge.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Both (A) and (R) are false. The resultant electric field can increase, decrease or cancel depending on vector sum. Field line direction depends on charge sign.
