Assertion:A point charge `q` is placed near an arbitrary shaped solid conductor as shown in figures.The potential difference between the points `A` and `B` within the conductor remain same irrespective of the magnitude of charge `q`
Reason: The electric field inside a solid conductor is zero under electrostatic conditions

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 but statement-2 is false

D

Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
(Easy) Since electric field inside the conductor is zero, A and B are always at same potential.
Hence `V_(A)-V_(B)=0` . Hence statement-1 and 2 are true and statement-2 is correct explanation of statement-1

Assertion:A point charge q is placed near an arbitary shaped solid conductor as shown in figures.The potential difference between the points A and B within the conductor remain same irrespectively of the magnitude of charge q Reason: The electric field inside a solid conductor is zero under electrostatic conditions

Self energy of solid sphere | Energy density of electric field | Conductors: properties under electrostatic condition

Asseration: A point charge q is placed at centre of spherical cavity inside a spherical conductor as shown. Another point charge Q is placed outside the conductor as shown. Now as the point charge Q is pushed away from conductor, the potential difference (V_(A) - V_(B)) between two points A and B within the cavity of sphere remains constant. Reason: The electric field due to charges on outer surface of conductor and outside the conductor is zero at all points inside teh conductor.
