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

  • question_answer
    Assertion (A): Capacity of a conductor is independent on the amount of charge on it.
    Reason (R): Capacitance depends on the dielectric constant of surrounding medium, shape and size of the conductor.

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

    B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A

    C) A is true but R is false

    D) A is fake and R is True

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Option [a] is correct
    Explanation: C =\[{{\operatorname{C}}_{1}}=\frac{A{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}{d}\]
    In the expression, there is no involvement of charge. So, capacitance is independent of charge. Hence the assertion is true.
    It depends on permittivity of the surrounding medium and the area of the plate. So, reason is also true.
    Reason explains the assertion.
