Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : The potential (V) at any axial point, at 2 m distance(r) from the centre of the dipole of dipole moment vector $\vec{P}$ of magnitude, 4 × 10^-6 C m, is ± 9 × 10³ V.
(Take $\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=9\times10^9$ SI units)
Reason R : $V=±\frac{2P}{4\pi \epsilon_0r^2}$, where r is the distance of any axial point, situated at 2 m from the centre of the dipole.

Unit Cells

The smallest portion of a crystal lattice which repeats in different directions to form the entire lattice is known as Unit cell.

The characteristics of a unit cell are:

The dimensions are measured along the three edges, a, b and c. These edges can form different angles, they may be mutually perpendicular or may not.
The angles held by the edges are α (between b and c) β (between a and c) and γ (between a and b).

Therefore, a unit cell is characterised by six parameters such as a, b, c and α, β, γ.

Types of Unit Cell:

Numerous unit cells together make a crystal lattice. Constituent particles like atoms, molecules are also present. Each lattice point is occupied by one such particle.

Primitive Unit Cells: In a primitive unit cell constituent particles are present only on the corner positions of a unit cell.
Centred Unit Cells: A centred unit cell contains one or more constituent particles which are present at positions besides the corners.
1. Body-Centered Unit Cell: Such a unit cell contains one constituent particle (atom, molecule or ion) at its body-centre as well as its every corners.
2. Face Centered Unit Cell: Such a unit cell contains one constituent particle present at the centre of each face, as well as its corners.
3. End-Centred Unit Cells: In such a unit cell, one constituent particle is present at the centre of any two opposite faces, as well as its corners.
