Assertion: bringing two opposite charges together releases energy. Reason: the two charges attract one another.

  • A.both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason explains the assertion
  • B.both the assertion and the reason are true but the reason does not explain the assertion
  • C.the assertion is true but the reason given for it is false
  • D.the assertion is false although the reason offered is a true statement in itself

Answer: A

Correct answer: both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason explains the assertion

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism. Because the charges attract, the field does the work of bringing them together and energy is released to the surroundings. The potential energy of the pair is correspondingly negative, which is what it means for the pair to be bound.
