JEE Main Physics question

Not in JEE or NEET syllabus

**Assertion:** Gravitational force between two everyday particles is negligibly small compared to the electrical force.

**Reason:** The electrical force is experienced only by charged particles.

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is NOT correct explanation for AssertionCorrect
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is True

Answer: (B)

Solution

Both statements are independently true: gravitational force is indeed vastly weaker than electrical force for charged particles, and electrical force does act only on charged particles. However, the Reason does not explain *why* gravity is weaker than electricity — that
