The electrostatic potential on the surface of a charged conducting sphere is 100 V. Two statement are made in this regard -
`S_(1)` : At any point inside the sphere, electric intensity is zero.
`S_(2)`: At any point inside the sphere, the electrostatic potential is 100V.
Which of the following is a correct statement?

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
