ElectrostaticsMedium
Question
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as
Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A : In electrostatics, a conductor does not store any net charge inside.
Reason R: Inside the capacitor (with no dielectric medium), the free charge carriers, if placed between the plates of capacitor, experience force and drift.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Options
A.Both $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ are true and $\mathbf{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$.
B.Both $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{R}$ are true but $\mathbf{R}$ is NOT the correct explanation of $\mathbf{A}$.
C.$\mathbf{A}$ is true but $\mathbf{R}$ is false
D.$\mathbf{A}$ is false but $\mathbf{R}$ is true
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Both statements are true, but the drift-of-free-charges reason is not the correct explanation of A.]
