Given below are two statements: One is labeled as Assertion (A) and the other is labeled as Reason (R) :
Assertion (A) : The electric potential and the electric field intensity at the centre of a square having four fixed point charges at their vertices as shown in figure are zero.

Reason (R) : If electric potential at a point is zero then magnitude of electric field at that point must be zero.
In the light of the above statement, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Detailed Solution

$E = 0, V = \frac{K q}{x} + \frac{K q}{x} - \frac{K q}{x} - \frac{K q}{x} = 0$

It is not necessary that if potential is zero then electric field is also zero.
