Assertion: For a system of two charges 
and 
at a separation 
, the coulomb force of 
on 
and that of 
on 
are equal and opposite but these may not act along the line that joins 
and 
.
Reason: According to Newton's third law, action and reaction forces are equal and opposite and these may or may not act along the line joining the two particles.
