Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): When a dielectric slab is gradually inserted between the plates of an isolated parallel-plate capacitor, the energy of the system decreases.
Reason (R): The force between the plates decreases.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- (A) is true but (R) is false
- (A) is false but (R) is true
- Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
Answer
(C) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
