NEET Physics Question - Electrostatics

Assertion (A): Continuity equation explains conservation of electric charge.

Reason (R): Gauss law shows diversion when inverse square law is not obeyed.

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

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

(3) (A) is true but (R) is false

(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Continuity equation describes conservation of charge. Gauss's law is a fundamental law valid irrespective of the inverse square law and does not show 'diversion' based on its obedience. Thus, (A) is true, (R) is false.
