Assertion. A sphrical equipotential surf...

Assertion. A sphrical equipotential surface is not possible for a point charge.
Reason. A spherical equipotential surface is possible inside a spherical capacitor.

A

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

B

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

C

Assertion is true, but the Reason is false.

D

both, Assertion and Reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d

Here, Assertion is wrong and Reason is also wrong.
