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): Dielectric polarisation means formation of positive and negative charges inside the dielectric.
    Reason (R): Free electrons are formed in this process.

    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: C

    Solution :

    (c) When an electric field is applied to the dielectric, each molecule of dielectric gets polarised, centres of gravity of positive and negative charges get displaced from each other. Electric dipoles are produced inside.
