Can there be a potential difference between two adjacent conductors that carry same amount of positive charge ?

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
Let us consider tow sphereical shells of radii `r_(1)` and `r_(2)` which are possessing the same positive chargeQ. Therefore the potential on the surface of each conductor will be ,
`V_(1) = (kQ)/(r_(1)) and V_(2) = (kQ)/(r_(2))` Since `r_(1) ne r_(2)` .
`V_(1) ne V_(2)` and consequently there will be a potential difference between the tow conductors.
