JEE Main 2025 — 2 April, Evening Shift — Question 47
Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Net dipole moment of a polar linear isotropic dielectric substance is not zero even in the absence of an external electric field.
Reason (R) : In absence of an external electric field, the different permanent dipoles of a polar dielectric substance are oriented in random directions.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
- Option A:
Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- Option B:
(A) is correct but ( ) is not correct
- Option C:Correct
(A) is not correct but ( ) is correct
- Option D:
Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
Answer: C
Step-by-step solution
Net dipole moment of polar dielectric substance is zero in absence of electric field as dipoles
are randomly oriented. is not correct but (R) is correct.
