1 of 1

Understanding +4 | -1

Assertion: Electrings always move from a region of lower potential to a region of high potential.

Reason: Electrings carryy a negative charge.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Both Assertion & Reason are true. Reason is the correct explanation for assertion

Option A (Both Assertion & Reason are true. Reason is the correct explanation for assertion) is correct because electrons are negatively charged and move from lower to higher potential.
