Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R)
Assertion (A) : Net dipole moment of a polar linear isotropic dielectric substance is not zero even in the absence of an external electric field.
Reason (R) : In absence of an external electric field, the different permanent dipoles of a polar dielectric substance are oriented in random directions.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: [2025]
(4)
A: Net dipole moment of polar dielectric substance is zero in absence of electric field as dipoles are randomly oriented.
R: If is absent, polar dielectric remain polar and are randomly oriented.
(A) is not correct but (R) is correct.
