Assertion. If a point charge `q` is placed in front of an infinite grounded condcuting plane surface, the point charge will experience a force.
Reason. This force is due to the induced charge on the conducting surface which is at zero potential

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:
a
The conducting surface being connected to earth is at zero potential. The point charge in front induces an equal and opposite charge on the conducting surface. This gives rise to force of attraction.
