Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A)$: Work done by an electric field on moving a positive charge on an equipotential surface is always zero.
Reason $(R)$: Electric lines of force are always perpendicular to equipotential surfaces.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

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