  • 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.

    A
    If both assertion and reason are true and reson is the correct explanation of assertion.
    B
    If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
    C
    If assertion is true but reason is false.
    D
    If assertion and reason both are false.
