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`.
