Mark the correct statement :.

A

An electron and a proton when released from rest in uniform electric field experience the same force and the same acceleration.

B

Two equipotential surfaces may intersect.

C

A solid conducting sphere holds more charge than a hollow conducting sphere of the same radius.

D

No work is done in taking a positive charge from one point to another inside a negatively charged metallic sphere.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

Option (a) is wrong because force will be the same, but acceleration will be different beacause masses of electrons and protons are different.
Option (b) is wrong because at a point there can be only one potential.
Option ( c) is wrong because charge always lies on the outer surface of a conductor.
Option (d) is correct because the whole conductor will be an equopotential body.
