Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false.
उत्तर
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Explanation:
Because the electrostatic force is a conservative force, there is never any work involved in relocating a charge along a closed path in an electric field. A force that conserves mechanical energy is referred to as conservative. The electrostatic force is a force that simply depends on the position of the charges, not their velocity. Therefore, the electrostatic force's effort in transporting a charge along a closed path depends only on the charge's initial and final positions and is independent of the path travelled.

In the circuit shown in figure initially, key K1 is closed and key K2 is open. Then K1 is opened and K2 is closed (order is important). [Take Q1′ and Q2′ as charges on C1 and C2 and V1 and V2 as voltage respectively.]
Then
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that V1 = V2
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q1′ = Q2′
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that C1V1 + C2V2 = C1E
- charge on C1 gets redistributed such that Q1′ + Q2′ = Q
