Answer

Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion

Explanation :
Assertion (A) is true : A switch can be used to open and close a circuit, regardless of whether it's connected to the live or neutral wire. However, for safety reasons, the switch should be connected to the live wire.
Reason (R) is true : It is true that the neutral wire is at zero potential, but this does not justify its use for a switch. The function of a switch is to break the live wire, thereby completely disconnecting the circuit from the power source.
