JEE Main 2022 — Electrostatics Question with Solution
From: JEE Main 2022 (Online) 26th June Morning Shift
Question
Given below two statements : One is labelled as Assertion (A) and other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : Non-polar materials do not have any permanent dipole moment.
Reason (R) : When a non-polar material is placed in an electric field, the centre of the positive charge distribution of it's individual atom or molecule coincides with the centre of the negative charge distribution.
In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

Show full solutionCorrect option: C
Step-by-step explanation
Non-polar bonds do not have any net dipole moment and are generally formed in compound where there is presence of symmetry.
When non polar material placed in electric field, due to redistribution of charges dipole is formed.
So, (R) is incorrect.
