Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): The electric field and hence electric field lines are everywhere at the right angle to an equipotential surface.
Reason (R): Equipotential surfaces are closer together where the electric field is stronger and farther apart where the field is weaker.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.
