Assertion : Range of Coulomb force is infinite. Reason : Coulomb force acts between two charged particles.
1 Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
2 Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.
3 Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
4 Assertion is incorrect but reason is correct.
Explanation:
The Coulomb force, which describes the electrostatic interaction between charged particles, theoretically extends to an infinite range because it decreases with the square of the distance between the charges. The reason is also true because Coulomb's law describes the force between two charged particles whether between \(( + q{\rm{ and }} - q)\) or (\(+q\) and \(+-q\)) or (\(-q\) and \(-q)\). Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason is not for assertion. So correct option is (2).
