Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: If an electric dipole of dipole moment $30 \times 10^{-5} \, Cm$ is enclosed by a closed surface,the net flux coming out of the surface will be zero.
Reason $R$: An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
  • B
    $A$ is true but $R$ is false
  • C
    Both $A$ and $R$ are true but $R$ is $NOT$ the correct explanation of $A$
  • D
    $A$ is false but $R$ is true
