The electrostatic potential on the surface of a charged concducting sphere is `100 V`. Two statements are made in this regard
`S_(1) :` at any inside the sphere, electric intensity is zero.
`S_(2) :` at any point inside the sphere, the electrostatic potential is `100 V`.

A

`S_(1)` is true but `S_(2)` is false

B

Both `S_(1) and S_(2)` are false

C

`S_(1)` is true, `S_(2)` is also true and `S_(1)` is the cause of `S_(2)`

D

`S_(1)` is true, `S_(2)` is also true but the statements are independent
