12th Class Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Assertion And Reason (MCQs) - Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance

  • question_answer
    Directions: In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
    Assertion (A): The surface of a conductor is an equipotential surface.
    Reason (R): Conductor allows the flow of charge.     
      

    A) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)

    B) Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A)

    C) Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false

    D) Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    (a) If two points on a conductor were at different potentials, charge would flow from higher potential to lower potentials, till their potentials become equal, A surface on which the potential has the same value everywhere is called an equipotential surface.
