NEET Physics Question - Capacitors - Combination of Capacitors

Assertion (A): Electrolytic capacitors have larger capacities.

Reason (R): Electrolytic capacitors have a positive and a negative terminal.

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:

Assertion (A) is true; electrolytic capacitors offer high capacitance due to their very thin dielectric layer and large effective plate area. Reason (R) is also true, as all capacitors have two terminals. However, the presence of terminals doesn't explain why they have *larger* capacities, so (R) is not the correct explanation for (A).
