Assertion: An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a particulate collection device that removes dust and smoke particles from flowing air using the force of an induced electrostatic charge. Reason: An ESP is a highly efficient device as it removes 99 percent of particulate matter present in the exhaust from a thermal power plant.
