Assertion:A point charge q is placed nea...

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

If both Assertion `&` Reason are True `&` the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.

B

If both Assertion `&` Reason are True but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.

C

If Assertion is True but the Reason is False.

D

If both Assertion `&` Reason are False.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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

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.

Assertion: A charge conductor may have charged particle inside it Reason: There can't exist electric field lines inside the couductor.

Assertion : Electric field inside a conductor is 0. Reason : Charge is present on surface of conductor.
