JEE Main & Advanced Physics Electrostatics & Capacitance Question Bank Assertion and Reason

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       The force with which one plate of a parallel plate capacitor is attracted towards the other plate is equal to square of surface density per e per unit area.             Reason     :   The electric field due to one charged plate of the capacitor at the location of the other is equal to surface density per e.

    A)             If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

    B)             If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

    C)             If assertion is true but reason is false.

    D)             If the assertion and reason both are false.

    E)                 If assertion is false but reason is true.

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                The electric field due to one charged plate at the location of the other is \[E=\sigma /2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\] and the force per unit area is \[F=\sigma \ E={{\sigma }^{2}}/2{{\varepsilon }_{0}}\].
