Assertion: In case of charged spherical ...

Assertion: In case of charged spherical shells, E-r graph is discontinuous while V-r graph is continuous
Reason: According to Gauss's theorem only the charge inside a closed surface ca produce electric field at some point.

A

If both assertion and reason are ture and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertin and reason are ture 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.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Electric field is zero inside the spherical charged shell and it is `(sigma)/(epsi_(0)) pi` outside. So it is discountinous across the surface . Electric potential is continus across the surface.As , `V =(1)/(4pi epsi_(0)) (q)/(r) , r le R`

(a) Use Gauss's law to show that due to a uniformly charged spherical shell of radius R, the electric field at any point situated outside the shell at a distance r from its centre is equal to the electric field at the same point, when the entire charge on the shell were concentrated at its centre. Also plot the graph showing the variation of electric field with r, for r le R and r ge R . (b) Two point charges of +1 muC and +4 muC are kept 30 cm apart. How far from the +1muC charge on the line joining the two charges, will the net electric field be zero ?

Assertion : With the help of Gauss's theorm we can find electric field at any point. Reason : Gauss's theorem can be applied for any type of charge distribution.

Draw E-r and V-r graphs due to two charged spherical shells as shown in figure (along the line between C and prop )

Assertion: Two concentric charged spherical shells are given. The potential difference between the shells depends on charge of inner shell. Reason: Potential due to charge of outer shell remains same at every point inside the sphere.

Assertion: No net charge can exist in the region where electric field is uniform. Reason: For any type of Gaussian surface selected within the region of a uniform electric field, the angle between electric field intensity and area normal is 90^@ everywhere. Hence, electric flux linked with the selected Gaussian surface is equal to zero. If the net electric flux is zero for some Gaussian surface then according to Gauss's law the net charge enclosed within the surface must be zero.
