Assertion A capacitor can be given only a limited quantity of charge Reason A capacitor is an arrangement which can store sufficient quantity of charge

1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
3. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
4. Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct

Correct answer: Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect

Solution

The assertion is true because a capacitor can store only up to a certain charge before the dielectric breaks down or the voltage limit is exceeded. The reason is false because a capacitor does not store a “sufficient” or unlimited quantity of charge; its storage is finite and limited by its capacitance and operating voltage.
