Dual Nature Of Light Question 11

Question: Assertion : An electron is not deflected on passing through certain region of space. This observation confirms that there is no magnetic field in that region. Reason : The deflection of electron depends on angle between velocity of electron and direction of magnetic field.

Options:

A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
