Assertion: The property that the force with which two charges attract or repel each other are not affected by the presence of a third charge.

Reason: Force on any charge due to a number of other charge is the vector sum of all the forces on that charge due to other charges, taken one at a time.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but
Reason is not the correct explanation of
Assertion
Option B (If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion) is correct because the superposition principle explains the net force, but doesn't directly explain why individual forces are unaffected by other charges.

Choose the incorrect statement.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
According to Gauss law, if a closed surface encloses no charge, then the electric field must vanish everywhere on the surface
Option D is correct because Gauss's law states that if a closed surface encloses no charge, the electric flux through the surface is zero, but the electric field itself doesn't necessarily vanish everywhere on the surface.
