Solution

The assertion (A) and the reason (R) are both correct and they are related to each other. Here's why:

Step 1: Understanding the Assertion (A): A proton is placed in a uniform electric field, it tends to move along the direction of the electric field. This is true because a proton, being positively charged, will naturally move in the direction of the electric field, from the positive to the negative end.

Step 2: Understanding the Reason (R): A proton is placed in a uniform electric field it experiences a force. This is also true. The force experienced by the proton is due to the electric field. The electric field exerts a force on the proton causing it to move.

Step 3: Relating Assertion and Reason: The reason the proton moves along the direction of the electric field (Assertion) is because it experiences a force in the electric field (Reason). Therefore, the Assertion and Reason are not only both correct, but the Reason is the correct explanation for the Assertion.
