Assertion: Conductors having equal posit...

Assertion: Conductors having equal positive charge and volume, must also have same potential.
Reason: Potential depends only on charge and volume of conductor.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reson 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 reason is false.

D

If assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Electric potential of a charged conductor depends not only on the amunt of charge and volume but also on the sphere of the conductor. Hence if their shapes are different, they may have different eelctric potential.
