Assertion: Charge never flows from a condenser of higher capacity to the condenser of lower capacity. Reason: Flow of charge between two bodies connected by a thin wire is determined by the charges on them.

Reason: Flow of charge between two bodies connected by a thin wire is determined by the charges on them. (A) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion (B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion (C) If assertion is true but reason is false (D) If both assertion and reason are false

Charge flows from a body at higher potential to the body at lower potential. A condenser of higher capacity may be at higher potential. So the charge may flow from it to the condenser of lower capacity, which may be at lower potential. Therefore, assertion and reason are wrong.
