STATEMENT -1 : Induced charge does not contribute to electric field or potential at a give point .
STATEMENT -2 : A point charge `q_0` is kept outside a solid metallic sphere , the electric field inside the sphere is zero.

A

if both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

if Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

if both Assertion and Reason are false

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
Electric field due to `q_(0)` is towards left and is `(kq_(0))/(r^(2))` but elelctric field due to induced charge is towards right and will have same magnitude `(kq_(0))/(r^(2))` so that electric field inside the sphere is zero.
