and
STATEMENT-2 `:` On connecting the two condcutors , their potentials become equal.

Options

A. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1
B. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1
C. Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False
D. Statement-1 is False , Statement-2 is True

Answer

To analyze the given statements, we will evaluate each statement separately and then conclude whether they are true or false.

### Step 1: Evaluate Statement-1
**Statement-1:** Total charge of a conductor can be transferred to the other conductor by connecting them with a conducting wire.

1. When two conductors are connected by a conducting wire, charge can flow between them until they reach the same electric potential.
2. If one conductor has a higher charge than the other, the charge will redistribute until the potential is equalized.
3. In the case of a small conductor connected to a larger conductor, the total charge on the smaller conductor can indeed be transferred to the larger conductor through the wire.
4. Therefore, Statement-1 is **True**.

### Step 2: Evaluate Statement-2
**Statement-2:** On connecting the two conductors, their potentials become equal.

1. When two conductors are connected by a conducting wire, the free movement of charge allows the potentials of both conductors to equalize.
2. This is a fundamental principle of electrostatics: charges will move until the electric potential is the same on both conductors.
3. Therefore, Statement-2 is also **True**.

### Conclusion
Both statements are true. However, they address different aspects of the behavior of conductors when connected by a wire. Statement-1 discusses the transfer of charge, while Statement-2 discusses the equalization of potential.

### Final Answer
Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 are true.
