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.
Draw the equipotential surfaces due to an isolated point charge.
