Given below are two statements: one is labelled a

Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason$(R)$

$Assertion$ $(A)$ : Work done by electric field on moving a positive charge on an equipotential surface is always zero.

$Reason$ $(R)$ : Electric lines of forces are always perpendicular to equipotential surfaces.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below 

  • [JEE MAIN 2024]

  • C

     $(A)$ is not correct but $(R)$ is correct

  • D

     Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are correct and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $(A)$
