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 positively charged rod is held near a neutral conducting solid sphere as illustrated below. The sphere lies on a insulated stand. The potential of ground (or earth) is zero. The potential at point A (point A need not be centre of the sphere) is higher compared to potential of gound (earth). Reason: In this situation of assertion, the potential at the centre of conducting sphere is positive. the solid sphere being conducting, potential at each point in the sphere is same.
