Question

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R Assertion A: A conductor is an equipotential. Reason R: \(\nabla\cdot\vec{B}=0\), where \(\vec{B}\) is magnetic field. Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

• A. Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
• B. Both A and R are correct but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
• C. A is correct but R is not correct.
• D. A is not correct but R is correct.

Hint:

Electric field inside conductor is zero in electrostatic equilibrium.
