Assertion: Electric potential on the sur...

Assertion: Electric potential on the surface of a charged sphere of radius R is V. Then electric field at distance `r=R/2` from centre is `V/(2R)`. Charge is distributed uniformly over the volume.
Reason: From centre to surface, electric field varies linearly with r. Here r is distance from centre.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true but 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 the Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but the Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`V=(kq)/R or kq=VR`
For inside points `(rleR)`
`E=(kq)/R^3r`
or `Epropr`
At distance `r=R/2`
`E=((VR))/R^3 (R/2)=V/(2R)`
