Assertion (A): An electric field can raise the coalescence efficiency of colliding drops.
Reason (R): It helps drain the intervening air film that would otherwise keep the surfaces apart.

  • A.A is true but R is false
  • B.A is false but R is true
  • C.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • D.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Answer: C

Both are true and the reason gives the mechanism, and charged drops behave similarly. This is one of the ways electrification inside a thunderstorm may feed back on its own microphysics. Laboratory work has confirmed the effect at realistic field strengths.
