Given below are two statements: One is labeled as Assertion (A) and the other is labeled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): When a conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field, the net electric field inside the conductor becomes zero after a small instant of time.

Reason (R): It is not possible to set up an electric field inside a conductor.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  1. (A) is true but (R) is false
  2. (A) is false but (R) is true
  3. Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
