Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.

Assertion A: The potential ( V ) at any axial point, at 2 m distance ( r ) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector P ˙ of magnitude, 4 * 1 0 6 C m , is ±9*103 V .

(Take 1 4 π ϵ 0 = 9 * 1 0 9 SI units)

Reason R :  V = ± 2 P 4 π ? 0 r 2 , where r  is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.

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

Option 1 - <p><span lang="EN-IN">Both <span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mi>A</mi> </mrow> </math> </span> and <span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mi>R</mi> </mrow> </math> </span>are true and <span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mi>R</mi> </mrow> </math> </span> is the correct explanation of <span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mi>A</mi> </mrow> </math> </span>.</span></p>
Option 2 - <p><span lang="EN-IN">Both <span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mi>A</mi> </mrow> </math> </span> and <span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mi>R</mi> </mrow> </math> </span> are true and <span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mi>R</mi> </mrow> </math> </span> is NOT the correct explanation of <span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mi>A</mi> </mrow> </math> </span>.</span></p>
Option 3 - <p><span lang="EN-IN"><span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mi>A</mi> </mrow> </math> </span>is true but <span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mi>R</mi> </mrow> </math> </span>&nbsp;is false.</span></p>
Option 4 - <p><span lang="EN-IN"><span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mi>A</mi> </mrow> </math> </span> is false but <span class="mathml" contenteditable="false"> <math> <mrow> <mi>R</mi> </mrow> </math> </span>&nbsp;is true.</span></p>

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

The potential V at any point, at distance r from centre of dipole = KPcosθ r 2

At axial point where  θ=0? , V=KPr2=9*109*4*10622=9*103 V

At axial point where  θ=180? , V=KPr2=9*103 V
