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

  • question_answer
    Assertion             :       A metallic shield in form of a hollow shell may be built to block an electric field.             Reason     :   In a hollow spherical shield, the electric field inside it is zero at every point.      [AIIMS 2001]

    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: A

    Solution :

                In a hollow spherical shield, the charge is present only on its surface but charge is zero at every point inside the hollow sphere. Hence, the metallic shield in form of hollow shell may be built to block an electric field.
